GEORGIA PINES COMMUNITY SERVICE BOARD v. Summerlin

Doyle, Judge.

Georgia Pines Community Service Board moved to dismiss on grounds of sovereign immunity the complaint of Marilyn Lee Sum-merlin for the wrongful death of her 18-year-old son, George Clayton Summerlin. The trial court denied the motion. This Court granted Georgia Pines’s application for interlocutory appeal. Georgia Pines argued that its motion to dismiss should have been granted because the State had not waived sovereign immunity for torts committed by borrowed servants during the course of their employment. We reversed the trial court’s ruling.
