JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Lack of maintenance program for school bus.

- When an owner was operating a used bus (particularly one whose past maintenance history was unknown) as a school bus, whether the owner had exercised ordinary diligence if the owner failed to establish an effective maintenance program to replace periodically all deteriorating brake parts was a genuine issue of material fact sufficient to preclude summary judgment for the owner. Kirby v. Spate, 214 Ga. App. 433, 448 S.E.2d 7 (1994).
