How courts have described this case

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

• release executed by woman injured while riding horse bars husband’s claim for loss of consortium
• In this case, the court held that the husband's right to recover for loss of consortium due to wife's fall from horse was barred because his wife signed a release exculpating the horse's owner from liability.
• wife's contractual release of liability barred husband's loss of consortium claim
• wife’s contractual release of liability barred husband’s loss of consortium claim
• “Exculpatory clauses in contracts in Georgia are valid and binding and not void as against public policy where the bailor relieves himself from his own negligence, except for that negligence which amounts to wilful and wanton misconduct”
• wife who fell from rented horse had signed a release, precluding her right to recover; therefore, husband’s claim for loss of consortium was also barred because right of husband to recover depended upon right of wife to recover
