The Georgia Court of Appeals has determined that $1 million is not too much for a nominal damages jury award, as argued by Walmart, represented by Jack Reiter of GrayRobinson, in a Gwinnett County slip-and-fall case at oral argument in December 2023.
The court’s disposition, issued May 10 and authored by Judge Trenton Brown, reflects Presiding Judge Stephen Dillard and Senior Judge Andrew Fuller’s expressions of reluctance to go back and alter jury verdicts during oral argument.
