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 Jordan, J., who dissents. Argued September 13, 1976 — Decided January 4, 1977 Rehearing denied January 27, 1977. Parker & O’Callaghan, James I. Parker, L. B. Kent, for appellants. Hatcher, Stubbs, Land, Hollis & Rothschild, A. J. Land, W. G. Scrantom, Jr., for appellees.
