Finnocchio v. Lunsford

In Finnocchio v. Lunsford 129 Ga. App. 694, 201 S.E.2d 1 (1973), the allegedly negligent driver was a married minor college student who had lived with his wife in an apartment in Tennessee during the academic year. The collision occurred over the summer while the student was driving his father's car. At that time, the student and his wife had allowed their apartment lease to lapse and were living in the home of the student's father. The Court held that these facts authorized a jury verdict against the father. Once again, however, the Court did not extend family purpose doctrine liability to children living away from their parents' home at the time of the incident.
