Supreme Court of Alabama

Jennie Zinn and Christopher Zinn v. Ashley Till

January 13, 2023

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the Montgomery Circuit Court’s dismissal of the Zinns’ negligence, wantonness, and related claims against Ashley Till, holding that State immunity does not bar individual‑capacity claims and that State‑agent immunity is not a jurisdictional defense to be decided on a motion to dismiss. The Court remanded for further proceedings.
