Ford Motor Co. v. Conley

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that trial court’s factual finding on discovery matter will be upheld on appeal if there is any evidence to support it
• explaining that the Court of Appeals transferred the case because it “divided equally on the disposition of the appeal,” with “[f]ive judges vot[ing] to reverse the trial court’s judgment, and a total of five judges vot[ing] to affirm”
• explaining that de novo standard does not apply to appellate review of the grant of an extraordinary motion for new trial that presented mixed questions of law and fact and on which the trial court had made factual findings
• trial court, through its direct supervision of discovery proceedings, has ability to assess conduct, demeanor, and credibility of parties and their counsel
• “The statutory limitation on questioning jurors after their verdict is now found in OCGA § 24-6-606 (b).”
• “If the error alleged was not materially prejudicial—if the party was not thereby deprived of a fair trial—then there is no justification for requiring another trial of the same case.”
