Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Applicability. - A condominium resident was properly denied summary judgment, in an action filed by the resident’s association for past-due fees and assessments, as the association, despite an administrative dissolution, could legally sue based on a reinstatement of its corporate status, and the case had not been previously settled. Williams v. Martin Lakes Condo. Ass’n, 284 Ga. App. 569, 644 S.E.2d 424 (2007). Corporation retained title to real property despite administrative dissolution. - Trial court erred by entering a declaratory judgment in favor of a creditor declaring that a church was bound under principles of agency or ratification

to the terms of a loan note and security deed a church member executed because there was no evidence that the church authorized the member to enter into a loan transaction on the church’s behalf; even though the church was administratively dissolved at the time of the loan transaction, the original church continued the church’s corporate existence apart from the nonprofit corporation the church member incorporated, and the original church retained title to the real property described in the security deed given by the nonprofit to the creditor under O.C.G.A. § 14-3-1421(c). Maced. Baptist Church of Atlanta v. LIB Props., 307 Ga. App. 760, 707 S.E.2d 380 (2011).
