    239 Ga. App. 282 (Ga. Ct. App. 1999)   Cited 44 times
    Holding that competitor was indisputably a stranger to the contracts and business relationship

    We agree with the Anderson parties, however, that Parks' counterclaim contains no allegations of tortious interference with contract by Signage Consultants or the Realty Company. Summary judgment was therefore proper as to those entities. Bob v. Hardy, 222 Ga. App. 550, 551 (1) ( 474 S.E.2d 658) (1996) ("a grant of summary judgment must be affirmed if it is right for any reason"). g. Because some of Parks' tort counterclaims remain in the case, the assertion by the Anderson parties that they are entitled to summary judgment on Parks' claims for attorneys' fees and punitive damages is premature and without merit.

  10. Lovins v. Kroger Company

    236 Ga. App. 585 (Ga. Ct. App. 1999)   Cited 22 times
    Concluding that summary judgment was properly granted to store because inference that store employee had actual knowledge of the hazard "cannot be based upon evidence which is too uncertain or speculative or which raises merely a conjecture or possibility"

    In passing on a motion for summary judgment, a finding of fact which may be inferred but is not demanded by circumstantial evidence has no probative value against positive and uncontradicted evidence that no such fact exists. Bob v. Hardy, 222 Ga. App. 550, 553 (4) ( 474 S.E.2d 658) (1996). While Lovins claims evidence that the employee did not see any customers in the area implies that she dropped the dip, this claim is without merit given the employee's testimony that she did not drop anything, inspected the area after setting up the samples, and saw no spills.
