Background
Christina Michelle Dockery, acting as administrator of the Estate of Adam Wyatt Wingo, and other appellants sought discretionary appellate review in litigation against Shinhan Bank Co., Ltd. The order identifies the lower-court number as 2024GC05451.
The supplied order does not describe the underlying claims, the ruling for which review was sought, or the parties’ arguments. It addresses only the application for discretionary appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals of Georgia granted the application for discretionary appeal. The order permits the appellant to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of October 21, 2026.
The court also directed the Clerk of State Court to include a copy of the order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals. The order does not decide the merits of the underlying dispute or reverse, affirm, or vacate the lower court’s ruling.
Key Takeaways
- The court granted the application for discretionary appeal.
- The appellant has 10 days from the order’s date to file a notice of appeal.
- The order allows appellate proceedings to move forward but resolves no substantive issue.
Why It Matters
The order opens the door to appellate review of the lower-court ruling, subject to the appellant’s timely filing of a notice of appeal. Its immediate significance is procedural: it authorizes an appeal without expressing any view on the eventual outcome.
