As the Georgia Supreme Court cranked back into action this week, it agreed to review three decisions by the state Court of Appeals. The cases in which certiorari was granted on Monday include:
- A lawsuit over a construction loan in which the appeals court divided over a Statute of Frauds question;
- A criminal case in which a divided appeals court said police illegally stopped a man walking on elementary school grounds late at night; and
- A worker’s compensation case in which an appeals court panel reversed a Fulton County judge’s ruling that a MARTA employee’s claim was barred by the statute of limitations.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments in each of the cases in April.
