Masters v. Air Line Pilots Ass'n, International
Masters v. Air Line Pilots Ass'n, International
Opinion of the Court
Masters brought suit against the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) in the Fulton County Superior Court. ALPA moved for dismissal and, in the alternative, for summary judgment. The court denied the motion to dismiss but granted the motion for summary judgment. Masters appealed, contending the grant of summary judgment was error; ALPA cross appealed, contending the denial of the motion to dismiss was error because, among other things, there had been insufficient service of process. We agree with this contention, so the summary judgment is reversed and the case remanded with direction to dismiss the action.
Service of process against ALPA is controlled by Ga. L. 1959, pp. 44, 45 (Code Ann. § 3-119), which provides that process may be served "upon any officer, or official member of such organization or upon any officer, or official member of any branch or local of such organization or association . . .” E.g., Smith v. United Const. Workers, 106 Ga. App. 87 (126 SE2d 307) (1962). It appears without contradiction that process was served, at
Judgment reversed with direction.
