Spalding Ins. Realty Co. v. Morris

1 Citing case

  1. R. L. Mathis Cert. Dairy v. Alexander Alexander

    349 S.E.2d 270 (Ga. Ct. App. 1986)

    Although there is no evidence in the record showing that Mathis gave express authority to A A to pay the additional amounts to Wausau for the commercial vehicle insurance, the evidence showing that Mathis accepted the benefit of the commercial vehicle insurance without directing A A to discontinue the coverage was sufficient to authorize a finding that Mathis, through acquiescence, conferred authority upon A A to pay Wausau the additional amounts charged for the insurance coverage. See Spalding Ins. Realty Co. v. Morris, 154 Ga. App. 869, 870 (1) ( 270 S.E.2d 78); Stevens v. Hunt, 61 Ga. App. 265 ( 6 S.E.2d 591). Consequently, since the undisputed evidence showed that A A paid $48,326 for the insurance coverages the trial court properly entered judgment in favor of A A in this amount.
