Employees' Retirement System Of Georgia v. Susan A. Pendergrass A/K/A Susan E. Brown

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's dismissal because it found that Pendergrass subjected herself to personal jurisdiction through her actions related to converting overpayments. The Georgia Court of Appeals held that assisting in designating a location and allegedly converting funds constituted transacting business sufficient for long-arm personal jurisdiction.
