Wce Holdings B, LLC v. Johnny Whitehead et al..

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether an out-of-possession landlord can be held liable for damages from a hidden structural defect if they did not know or reasonably should have known about it. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's decision because the plaintiffs failed to provide evidence that a jury could conclude WCE knew or should have known about the damaged beam.
