Potts v. Fidelity Fruit & Produce Co.
Georgia Court of Appeals
301 S.E.2d 903 (1983)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Potts (plaintiff) worked for a grocery store. He was unloading bananas from a delivery truck when a spider bit him. Fidelity Fruit and Produce Company, Inc. (defendant) was the distributor of the bananas. Potts brought suit against Fidelity on a theory of negligence per se based on the Georgia Food Act, which the State of Georgia enacted for consumer protection. Potts acknowledged that the evidence did not support a claim for traditional negligence under the act. The trial court granted Fidelity summary judgment. Potts appealed.
