Georgia Court of Appeals

Raul Moreno v. Carniceria Loa #2, A Sole Proprietorship Of Jose Madrigal

A19A0882 August 20, 2019 Vacated & Case Remanded

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The Georgia Court of Appeals held that the trial court erred by dismissing Moreno's complaint because an amendment to correct a misnomer is permitted even if the statute of limitations has run when proper service occurred. The Georgia Court of Appeals vacated the judgment and remanded the case to the trial court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
