Gilyard v. Northlake Foods, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• upholding Plaintiffs’ claim because although they were served, the grits received were fly infested and thus inedible
• denying summary judgment when plaintiffs submitted affidavits showing that other non-minority patrons that were seated at the same time received service and left well before plaintiffs were waited on and no other racial minorities were dining in the restaurant at the time
• “Before a person can be negligent, the ability to do the act must have been within their control. For ‘excusable’ to have meaning, there must be a circumstance where failure to do that which was within ones [sic] control is later allowed by a court.”
