Supreme Court of Georgia

Global Payments, Inc. v. Incomm Financial Services, Inc

June 1, 2020308 Ga. 842

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the trial court’s dismissal of InComm’s negligent misrepresentation claim against Global Payments. The Court held that a plaintiff must allege that the defendant made a false representation; merely transmitting accurate data without such representation does not satisfy the claim.
