Reversed
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The legal issue was whether the Ghalis owed a duty to the plaintiffs for negligent infliction of emotional distress after their son fired a gun. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's denial of summary judgment, holding that providing housing does not create a special relationship of control sufficient to establish liability.
