PATTERSON v. KEVON LLC (2018)

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

PATTERSON et al. v. KEVON, LLC.

A17A0399

Decided: September 28, 2018

Christina Cribbs, Bentley C. Adams, for appellant. Paul L. Howard, Jr., District Attorney, Paige Reese Whitaker, Arthur C. Walton, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.

In Patterson v. Kevon, LLC, 342 Ga. App. 256, 802 S.E.2d 442 (2017), this Court affirmed the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendant, Kevon, LLC, as to the issue of proximate cause on negligence claims brought by the plaintiffs. As this was the only issue reached by the trial court in considering the defendant's summary judgment motion, we did not consider whether the plaintiffs had brought forth evidence to establish the other elements of their claims.

The Supreme Court of Georgia granted certiorari and reversed our decision. See Patterson v. Kevon, LLC, 304 Ga. 232, 818 S.E.2d 575 (2018). ¹ We therefore vacate our previous opinion, adopt the decision of the Supreme Court as our own, and reverse the judgment below.

Judgment reversed.
