Georgia Court of Appeals Affirms Summary Judgment Shooting Down Damages Claim (January 2023). Dan Millman and Joe Kingma prevailed for a Georgia municipality which had denied a liquor license. While Court of Appeals did not address whether the applicant was entitled to the license it agreed that damages for lost profits were not available.
Shannon Sprinkle and Dan Millman defeated ADA claims against a recruiting firm and a staffing company in Akins, v. Cella, Inc., 2022 WL 688847 (N.D. Ga. July 18, 2022) and Levins v. Connect Staffing, Inc., 2022 WL 2187109 (N.D. Ga. May 31, 2022). In both cases, the court agreed that the employers’ termination decisions were lawful and justified based on the employees’ actions.
