S09G1974. NEWELL RECYCLING OF ATLANTA, INC. v. JORDAN JONES AND GOULDING, INC.

MELTON, Justice. Jordan Jones and Goulding, Inc. ("JJ&G"), a professional engineering firm, designed an automobile shredding facility for Newell Recycling of Atlanta, Inc. (Newell). JJ&G's work was done pursuant to a "Draft Scope of Work" document and letters that it sent to Newell in August 1997, and pursuant to an agreement to prepare a concrete work platform that would control drainage around the shredding facility. After work had been completed on the project and the shredding facility became operational, in or around May 2000, the concrete platform around the facility began to fail. Over four years later, in August 2004, Newell sued JJ&G for breach of contract and professional malpractice. On August 4, 2005, JJ&G moved for summary judgment, arguing that the complaint was barred by the four-year statute of limitation applicable to actions "upon any implied promise or

undertaking" contained in OCGA
