Georgia Court of Appeals

Jalal K. Ghali et al.. v. Adriel Antonio Miles, Sr. et al..

A20A0429 June 1, 2020 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.
