Apple Pie Ridge Homeowners Association, Inc. faced a legal setback as the Court of Appeals of Georgia upheld a summary judgment in favor of J. Scott Andrews and Karen Andrews. The dispute centered on whether the Andrews owed fees and assessments under the subdivision’s declaration of covenants. Initially, the Association believed that certain lots owned by the Andrews were not subject to these covenants but later reversed its stance, leading to a demand for payment. However, due to procedural missteps by the Association, including failing to respond to requests for admissions, the court ruled in favor of the Andrews. The ruling confirmed that their lots were not subject to the declaration’s provisions, thus exempting them from paying the disputed fees.
