Georgia Court of Appeals

Rebecca Joy Richardson v. Greg Mapoles D/B/A Chick-Fil-A At North Druid Hills Road

A16A2184 December 8, 2016 Affirmed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether a plaintiff's mere speculation about causation in a slip or fall case is sufficient to overcome a motion for summary judgment. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision because the evidence only showed a mere possibility of causation and not a genuine issue of material fact.
