Georgia Court of Appeals

Virgil Humphrey, Sr. v. Jp Morgan Chase Bank, N. A. et al..

A16A0289 June 8, 2016 Affirmed In Part/Reversed In Part

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The Georgia Court of Appeals held that while it affirmed summary judgment for M&B on certain claims, it reversed the dismissal of Humphrey’s claims against Chase because he was alleging wrongful attempted foreclosure rather than wrongful foreclosure. The court determined that since no foreclosure sale had occurred, a claim for wrongful foreclosure could not succeed, and the trial court erred in granting summary judgment to M&B on those specific grounds.
