Elizabeth Louise Robertson v. Robert Lee Robertson

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ September 29, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A15I0020. ELIZABETH LOUISE ROBERTSON, et al. v. ROBERT LEE ROBERTSON.

Elizabeth Robertson and Dorothy Keene seek immediate review of the trial court’s order granting partial summary judgment to Robert Robertson in this civil action seeking the imposition of an implied or constructive trust.1 Under OCGA § 9-11-56 (h), the grant of summary judgment on any issue or as to any party is reviewable by direct appeal. City of Demorest v. Town of Mt. Airy, 282 Ga. 653, 654 n.1 (653 SE2d 43) (2007); Whiddon v. Stargell, 192 Ga. App. 826, 827-28 (386 SE2d 884) (1989). We will grant a timely application for interlocutory appeal if the order complained of is subject to direct appeal and the applicants have not otherwise filed a timely notice of appeal. Spivey v. Hembree, 268 Ga. App. 485, n.1 (602 SE2d 246) (2004). Accordingly, this interlocutory application is hereby GRANTED. Elizabeth Robertson and Dorothy Keene shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal in the trial court. If they have already filed a notice of appeal from the order at issue here, they need not file a second notice. The clerk of the trial court is directed to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.

The applicants timely filed their application in the Supreme Court, which transferred the case to this Court, after concluding that an action to set aside a transfer of property did not invoke its jurisdiction over divorce and alimony cases.
