Hall v. Davis Lawn Care Service, Inc.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia held that a conservator who declines to join pre‑existing litigation and seeks its dismissal does not forfeit his exclusive statutory power to participate in that litigation after being joined as an involuntary plaintiff under OCGA § 9‑11‑19(a). Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals, vacated its forfeiture holding, and remanded for further proceedings.
