American Southern Insurance Company v. Kirkland

162 S.E.2d 862, 118 Ga. App. 170, 1968 Ga. App. LEXIS 923
Court of Appeals of Georgia·Decided July 15, 1968·No. 43781·Published·Cited by 19 cases

Opinion

Hall, Judge.

The appellees rely upon Pennsylvania Threshermen &c. Cas. Co. v. Gardner, 107 Ga. App. 472 (130 SE2d 507), and Hatcher v. Georgia Farm Bureau Mut. Ins. Co., 112 Ga. App. 711 (146 SE2d 535). These cases are inapposite for the reason they were decided under the old strict rules of pleading. A claim for relief under Code Ann. § 81A-108 “should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.” Conley v. Gibson, 355 U. S. 41, 45-46 (78 SC 99, 2 LE2d 80). See also Harper v. DeFreitas, 117 Ga. App. 236 (1) (160 SE2d 260).

The trial court erred in dismissing the petition. St. Paul Fire &c. Ins. Co. v. Johnson, 216 Ga. 437 (117 SE2d 459); Ditmyer v. American Liberty Ins. Co., 117 Ga. App. 512 (1) (160 SE2d 844).

Judgment reversed.

Bell, P. J., and Quillian, J., concur.
