Clark's Super Gas, Inc. v. Tri-State Systems, Inc.

Court of Appeals of Georgia

209 S.E.2d 683 (Ga. Ct. App. 1974)

Opinion

49494.

SUBMITTED JULY 1, 1974.

DECIDED OCTOBER 1, 1974. REHEARING DENIED OCTOBER 16, 1974.

Action on contract. Fulton Civil Court. Before Judge Webb.

Albert A. Roberts, for appellant. John A. Clark, J. Norwood Jones, Jr., for appellee.


1. In the absence of a certificate of review by the trial judge, the denial of a motion for summary judgment is not reviewable. Carroll v. Campbell, 226 Ga. 700 ( 177 S.E.2d 83).

2. In a prior appearance of this case we reversed the judgment in favor of the plaintiff who had brought suit on an express written contract. Thereafter, the plaintiff amended its complaint and sought recovery based on a theory of quantum meruit rather than on the express contract. See Clark's Super Gas v. Tri-State Systems, 129 Ga. App. 650 ( 200 S.E.2d 472). At the second trial, the trial judge again found for plaintiff and entered a judgment for the reasonable value of the services rendered. The evidence adduced revealed that plaintiff had erected one of the three highway signs for defendant which was the subject-matter of the original contract, and that defendant had accepted the benefits from it. The reasonable value of the services rendered was also established. The judgment was authorized on quantum meruit. Ford v. Smith, 25 Ga. 675 (2, 3); Collins v. Frazier, 23 Ga. App. 236 (2) ( 98 S.E. 188).

Judgment affirmed. Quillian and Clark, JJ., concur.

SUBMITTED JULY 1, 1974 — DECIDED OCTOBER 1, 1974 — REHEARING DENIED OCTOBER 16, 1974.
