Singletary, III v. P & a Investments, Inc.

BEASLEY, Judge.

P & A Investments, Inc. d/b/a Andy’s Mobile Home and Land Sales (Defendant) appeals from the trial court’s judgment in favor of Douglas Singletary, III (Plaintiff), concluding that Defendant seller bore the risk of loss at the time a mobile home purchased by Plaintiff was destroyed by fire and awarding Plaintiff damages.
