Georgia Court of Appeals

Kimberly Michelle Partain v. Elizabeth P. Pitts et al..

A16A0453 June 21, 2016 Reversed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether a non-conforming check delivered to an attorney constitutes acceptance of a settlement offer. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's denial because the delivery of a conforming check within the specified time frame constituted acceptance of the settlement agreement.
