CALLAWAY GARDENS RESORT, INC. v. Bierman

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Smith, Presiding Judge.

In this premises liability action, Joanna Bierman and Bob Bier-man sued Callaway Gardens Resort, Inc. and the Ida Cason Callaway Foundation (Callaway) for injuries Joanna Bierman sustained when she fell from an outdoor deck.* 1 We granted this application for interlocutory appeal to review the trial court’s denial of Callaway’s motion for summary judgment. Because Joanna Bierman had actual knowledge not only of the alleged hazard, but of the specific danger it presented, the trial court erred in denying Callaway’s motion for summary judgment. We therefore reverse.
