This case will be assigned to the October 2022 oral argument calendar automatically under Supreme Court Rule 50 (1) (a). Oral argument is mandatory in granted certiorari cases.
This Court is particularly concerned with the following issue or issues:

See OCGA §§ 51-4-2 (a); 23-4-20; 23-1-3. See generally Brown v. Liberty Oil &Refining Corp., 261 Ga. 214, 215216 (403 S.E.2d 806) (1991).
Briefs should be submitted only on these points. See Supreme Court Rule 45.
