Automated case summary
What the court decided
The legal issue was whether a trial court erred by dismissing a motion for a new trial without a hearing when a protective order was issued under Georgia's Family Violence Act. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal, holding that the statute intended to include acts between siblings living in the same household.
