Supreme Court of Georgia

Johnson v. City of Vidalia

May 5, 2026

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia denied the petition for a writ of certiorari seeking review of the Court of Appeals' summary‑judgment ruling in Johnson v. City of Vidalia. The Court explained that the appellate court’s alternative basis—finding the city had no notice of the sidewalk defect—was sufficient to support the summary‑judgment decision and that the legal question about “passive” versus “affirmative” conduct would not affect the outcome.
