J. Underhill grants in part and denies in part a motion for summary judgment in a case in which Bondsmen did not return a depositor’s funds. The case is timely, and statute of limitations claims by Bondsmen do not apply. The depositor’s claim of fraudulent misrepresentation is denied because the Bondsmen’s representation of legal issuance of the bonds is an issue of fact. The depositor’s motion for summary judgment is denied in part and granted in part.

J. Hodges finds that the trial court improperly granted Costco's motion to dismiss claims for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and conversion raised by the inventor alleging that Costco reneged on an agreement to pay him for implementing a meat inventory management system at Costco's warehouses. The trial court should have ordered the inventor to plead a more definite statement of the fraud claims rather than ordering dismissal. It is also possible that evidence gained through discovery could support the conversion claim. However, the trial court correctly granted the motion to dismiss as to the inventor's quantum meruit claim since the inventor acknowledged he failed to properly state the claim. Reversed in part.
Court: Georgia Court of Appeals, Judge: Hodges, Filed On: October 26, 2023, Case #: A23A1055, Categories: fraud, conversion, contract
