Barlow v. Rushin

Barlow v. Rushin
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided September 20, 1966 · Nichols, Hall, Deen
151 S.E.2d 199; 114 Ga. App. 304; 1966 Ga. App. LEXIS 731 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Barlow v. Rushin

Opinion

Nichols, Presiding Judge.

1. “Errors alleged to have been in the charge, but to which there was no exception as provided in Code Ann. § 70-207 (a, b), will not generally be held harmful as a matter of law, and will not be considered unless it appears that a gross injustice is about to result or has resulted, directly attributable to the alleged errors.” Nathan v. Dun can, 113 Ga. App. 630 (6) (149 SE2d 383); Georgia Power Co. v. Maddox, 113 Ga. App. 642 (149 SE2d 393); Southern R. Co. v. Grogan, 113 Ga. App. 451, 458 (148 SE2d 439).

2. All of the enumerations of error in the main appeal address themselves to the court’s charge to which no objection was made before verdict, and since such alleged errors in the charge, if error, could not be deemed to fall in the category described in § 17 (c) of the Act of 1965 (Ga. L. 1965, pp. 18, 31; Code Ann. § 70-207 (c)), no reversible error is shown by the main appeal.

Judgment affirmed on main appeal; cross appeal dismissed.

Hall and Deen, JJ., concur.
