Emma Mcclarty v. Trigild Incorporated et al..

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The Georgia Court of Appeals held that reentering a judgment on a jury verdict after an admission under OCGA § 9-11-36 was improper because it prevented the plaintiff from presenting evidence of its conclusive effect to the jury. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's decision, ruling that this error was not harmless as it deprived the plaintiff of informing the jury of a fact proven as a matter of law.
