Crossing Park Properties, LLC v. JDI Fort Lauderdale, LLC

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided June 28, 2012No. A12A0201PublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Boggs, Judge.

Crossing Park Properties, LLC and Joan and Glen Hammer1 appeal from the trial court’s order granting JDI Fort Lauderdale, LLC’s (“JDI”) motion to dismiss their complaint. In their sole claim of error on appeal, the appellants contend that the trial court erred by concluding that it lacked personal jurisdiction over JDI. For the reasons explained below, we agree and reverse.

In Georgia, defendants filing a motion to dismiss based upon a lack of personal jurisdiction bear the burden of proof. Home Depot Supply v. Hunter Mgmt., 289 Ga. App. 286 (656 SE2d 898) (2008).
