Banks v. AJC International, Inc.

Ruffin, Judge.

James Alton Banks, Jr., was killed when the motorcycle he was driving was struck by a vehicle driven by Hong Qi Liu. Banks’s estate and his survivors sued Liu’s employer, AJC International, Inc. (“AJC”), for wrongful death because Liu was in Atlanta for a business meeting and driving a rental car paid for by AJC at the time of the collision. The trial court held that Liu was not acting in the scope of his employment at the time of the collision and granted summary judgment to AJC. Finding no error, we affirm.
