1Opinion of the Court
Andrews, Judge.
These five related cases had their genesis in the 1987 filing of a Wilkinson County complaint by Pearl Burney (appellee in A90A1680) alleging that M & M Clays, Inc. (appellant in A90A1680; appellee in the other four cases) had trespassed upon her property for the purpose of mining kaolin from 1963 until 1971, without her permission or knowledge and without remuneration to her.
M & M answered, contending that Burney’s complaint was barred by the applicable statute of limitation and asserting a counter claim for abusive litigation under Yost v. Torok, 256 Ga. 92 (344 SE2d 414)…
