Description
Diamonds & Denims, Inc. d/b/a Botanical Silks brought suit against its insurance carrier, First of Georgia Insurance
Company, seeking damages for the insurer's failure to pay a fire loss claim. The trial court granted the insurer's motion
for summary judgment made on the ground that Diamonds & Denims's failure to provide requested financial information barred
it from bringing suit under the policy. Diamonds & Denims appeals. Appellant was engaged in the business of supplying silk plants and flowers and related items to commercial clients from its
Augusta base. Gary Sharma and Sarita Sharma, husband and wife, are principal shareholder and president, respectively, of appellant.
Gary Sharma testified by deposition that he previously operated a similar business in Texas under two other corporations,
but those corporations sold their inventory to appellant when the Sharmas moved to Georgia. Appellant's business consisted
of a small retail outlet operated by sales representative Deborah Collier and the larger commercial operation run by Oni Ortiz
from an Augusta warehouse. Both Gary and Sarita Sharma and their employees testified by deposition that all business records
were kept at the warehouse except for some relating to the retail sales operations.
