Aprea v. Cobb
Aprea v. Cobb
Opinion of the Court
A jury awarded Wayne Cobb $12,312.71 in damages in a lawsuit arising out of a dispute involving Cobb’s repairs to Mineo Aprea’s automobile. On appeal Aprea enumerates as error the denial of his motions for directed verdict and for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The trial was not transcribed, and the parties could not agree on a proposed transcript. The trial court did not certify either party’s summary of the testimony and was unable to recall the details of the case.
Judgment affirmed.
See OCGA § 5-6-41 (g) (“[i]n case of the inability of the parties to agree as to the correctness of such transcript, the decision of the trial judge thereon shall be final and not subject to review; and, if the trial judge is unable to recall what transpired, the judge shall enter an order stating that fact.”).
