Phoenix Airline Services, Inc. v. Metro Airlines, Inc.

Smith, Presiding Justice.

We granted a writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals in Phoenix Airline Services v. Metro Airlines, 194 Ga. App. 120 (390 SE2d 219) (1989) to decide the following:(1) Did the Court of Appeals misconstrue the law by creating a new, non-derivative right of action in a stockholder against an officer, director or key employee of a corporation?(2) Whether a new trial limited to damages is appropriate when no evidence of compensatory damage was introduced to support a lump sum, compensatory damage verdict on multiple claims for different damages by multiple parties?(3)…
