The interplay among Georgia Court of Appeals Judges Stephen Dillard, Brian Rickman and Trea Pipkin over recurring issues in premises liability was a focal point at recent oral arguments in a case where a 10-year-old shot another child after apartment management received multiple complaints about a child with a gun in the apartment common areas.

The plaintiff-appellant, Marquita Jordan, represented by Bondurant Mixson & Elmore’s Naveen Ramachandrappa, brought her case to the appellate court to contend that a Fulton County jury that delivered a verdict in favor of the landlord, H.J. Russell & Co., was instructed improperly. The defendant-appellees, represented by Laurie Webb Daniel of Webb Daniel Friedlander then filed a cross-appeal arguing the case should have never made it to a jury trial to begin with.
