Wells v. McMahon green
gactapp · 1921
2 sentences

1985Held: Appellant Smith contends summary judgment was improper because the jury should have decided the question of gross negligence, which was the standard of liability for a driver under the guest passenger rule in effect when this accident occurred (Epps v. Parrish, 26 Ga. App. 399 ( 106 SE 297 )).

Minkovitz v. Fine green

2 sentences

1977They are: (1) that the plaintiff mother was a guest passenger in the vehicle at the time she was injured and hence the duty of care owed her was only that of slight care and that the defendant had to be guilty of gross negligence in order to be found liable; (2) that the evidence failed to show an absence of slight care; (3) because the plaintiff mother was a guest passenger the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur would not obtain since it is not applicable in a situation where the plaintiff must show gross negligence, citing Minkovitz v. Fine, 67 Ga. App. 176 ( 19 SE2d 561 ); (4) since the evidence
