    Holding that the trial court erred by granting summary judgment in favor of the Plaintiff on its claim for attorney fees under OCGA § 13-6-11 because the trial court was not a trier of fact in adjudicating a motion for summary judgment

    Consistent with this precedent, the Court of Appeals has correctly held that, because both the liability for and amount of attorney fees pursuant to OCGA § 13-6-11 are solely for the jury's determination, a trial court is not authorized to grant summary judgment in favor of a claimant therefor.

Holland, 252 Ga. 299, 304 (3) ( 314 SE2d 97) (1984), has stated that "[e]xpenses of litigation under OCGA § 13-6-11 can be awarded on summary judgment, but the movant must be entitled to them as a matter of law.

    Finding exhaustion futile where Board refused plaintiff's request for hearing

    Nevertheless, the judge is not a trier of fact on a motion for summary judgment. Page v. HSI Financial Svcs., 218 Ga.
