Massey v. Henderson, 238 Ga. 217

Massey v. Henderson

238 Ga. 217 | Ga. | 1977

Per curiam.

This court granted an application for a writ of certiorari to review a 6-3 decision of the Court of Appeals in Massey v. Henderson, 138 Ga. App. 565 (226 SE2d 750) (1976). The Court of Appeals affirmed a summary judgment rendered in favor of the master in a master-servant tort action brought by complainants against the master but not against the servant.

We conclude, after a thorough review, that the majority opinion of the Court of Appeals is correct, and that court’s judgment must be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except
