Morrison v. Bonnie Davis Chevrolet, Inc.

Court of Appeals of Georgia

170 S.E.2d 437 (Ga. Ct. App. 1969)

Opinion

44423.

SUBMITTED APRIL 8, 1969.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 9, 1969. REHEARING DENIED SEPTEMBER 24, 1969.

Action for fraud and deceit. Floyd Superior Court. Before Judge Scoggin.

John D. Edge, for appellant.

Rogers, Magruder Hoyt, Robert M. Brinson, for appellee.


The trial court did not err in granting summary judgment for the defendant on the plaintiff's claim (action for fraud and deceit by the purchaser of an automobile) and summary judgment for the defendant on its counterclaim (action by dealer for the alleged balance due on the conditional-sale contract). The evidence presented by the defendant pierced the allegations of the plaintiff's petition. The evidence presented by the plaintiff and in the record before the trial court was not equivalent to that in Central Chevrolet, Inc. v. Register, 116 Ga. App. 598 ( 158 S.E.2d 270), cited by the plaintiff, and was insufficient to rebut the evidence presented by the defendant. The evidence created no genuine issue of fact as to the defendant's counterclaim. Crutcher v. Crawford Land Co., 220 Ga. 298, 302 ( 138 S.E.2d 580); General Gas Corp. v. Carn, 103 Ga. App. 542, 545 ( 120 S.E.2d 156); Brawner v. Martin Jones Produce Co., 116 Ga. App. 324 ( 157 S.E.2d 514).

Judgment affirmed. Jordan, P. J., and Whitman, J., concur.

SUBMITTED APRIL 8, 1969 — DECIDED SEPTEMBER 9, 1969 — REHEARING DENIED SEPTEMBER 24, 1969.
