Knight v. Lowerygreen
ga · 1971 · cited in 1 Georgia opinions naming this issue, 1974–1974
2 sentences

1974The doctrine of single satisfaction, as pointed out in Knight v. Lowery, 228 Ga. 452, 455 ( 185 SE2d 915 ) exists for the reasons "first, that joint tortfeasors contribute to a single injury *882 for which there is but one cause of action, and, second, that once the damage has been paid in full by one joint tortfeasor, the injured party has no right to seek an additional or double recovery from another.” Where the negligent acts do not occur to cause a single injury, and where full satisfaction has not been obtained, the Knight case establishes that another suit may lie.

1990We also agree with Cheeley that its third defense *545 adequately raised the defense of insufficiency of the expert's affidavit for purposes of OCGA § 9-11-12 (b), compare Glaser v. Meck, 258 Ga. 468 ( 369 SE2d 912 ) (1988), and note furthermore that had any confusion existed as to the grounds for that defense, an interrogatory addressing the matter could have been presented to Cheeley earlier than the ten month delay seen in the case at bar.

Schoenly v. Nashville Speedways, Inc. green

1966“It seems clear that since the State’s employee Graham was a joint tort-feasor with defendants and that the State, but for its immunity from suit as a sovereign, would have also been jointly and severally liable with the others upon the doctrine of respondeat superior; and that since the Board of Claims allowed plaintiff compensation for his injuries, which was paid, that this was a satisfaction of his claim and a discharge of the other joint tort-feasors.” Schoenly v. Nashville Speedways, Inc., 208 Tenn. 107 ( 344 SW2d 349 ).
