1Opinion of the Court

Judge Harold R. Banke.

After slipping and falling on a bag at a food show, Robert Batten sued J. H. Harvey Company (“Harvey”), a promoter and occupier of the premises where the fall occurred. The trial court granted Harvey’s motion for summary judgment, and Batten appeals, enumerating two errors.

To prevail on summary judgment, the moving party must show that no genuine issues of material fact remain to be tried and that the undisputed facts, viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmovant, warrant summary judgment as a matter of law. Lau’s Corp. v. Haskins, 261 Ga. 491 (405 SE2d 474)…
