Patrick Edokpolor et al.. v. Grady Memorial Hospital Corporation et al..

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether a summary judgment order that reserves an award for expenses under OCGA § 9-11-4 constitutes a final judgment for the purposes of timely appeal under OCGA § 5-6-38(a). The Georgia Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal because the October 7, 2014, summary judgment order was deemed a final judgment.
