Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue involved whether a claim alleging medical malpractice required an expert affidavit under OCGA § 9-11-9.1 for claims involving professional judgment. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part the trial court's order dismissing the complaint with prejudice due to failure to file such affidavits.
