Georgia Court of Appeals
Taurus B. Tucker v. Brandon R. Brockington
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The legal issue is whether the rule adding three days to a filing period applies to renewal actions, specifically concerning the trigger for that rule. The Georgia Court of Appeals held that the rule does not apply because the six-month period was triggered by the order of dismissal, not the service of notice, and the trial court's dismissal was not erroneous, thus AFFIRMED.
