View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court erred in granting a directed verdict against a daughter on her undue influence claim as to her father's 2004 will, after a jury granted judgment in her favor, as sufficient evidence supported the same. But, a defensive cross-appeal lacked merit, as no reversible error was found regarding the evidence admitted or the instructions given.

Frickey v. Jones, S05G1935., SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA, May 17, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Letter from insurer in response to plaintiff's demand did not purport to accept an offer unequivocally and without variance of any sort, but imposed an added condition, not merely to "confirm" nonexistence of liens, but to resolve a specific lien as well as potential liens. Letter was thus a counteroffer, and no binding agreement was formed.

View this case - free  

Overview: Appellant's admission in brief that relief she sought in mandamus action against judge was admission in judicio which supported dismissal for mootness. Since appellant had legal remedy, to wit, suing state without governor's consent, denial of her request to file mandamus action seeking to compel governor to consent to her suit was proper.
