Cobra 4 Enterprises, Inc.v.Karen Powell-Newman et al.
These consolidated appeals arose from an automobile collision involving a truck leased to Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts and driven by its employee. The injured plaintiff asserted negligence, negligent hiring and supervision, negligent entrustment, alter-ego, joint-venture, and respondeat-superior theories against the businesses and individuals involved. The Court of Appeals of Georgia held that Cobra 4 was entitled to summary judgment because it was not engaged in a joint venture with Yellow Ribbon and because the evidence required judgment for Cobra 4 on the alter-ego and negligent-entrustment claims. The court affirmed the 2014 order in one docket, reversed it in part in the other, and remanded with instructions to enter judgment for Cobra 4 on the specified claims.
