Blayton v. Ford Motor Credit Company
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided September 20, 1968 · Quillian, Bell, Hall
164 S.E.2d 262; 118 Ga. App. 517; 5 U.C.C. Rep. Serv. (West) 1094; 1968 Ga. App. LEXIS 954 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Blayton v. Ford Motor Credit Company

Opinion

Quillian, Judge.

Where, as in the case sub judice, the conditional sale contract named the company the defendant was representing but did not show that he signed the instrument in a representative capacity, the trial judge sitting without a jury did not err in finding the defendant personally liable. Code Ann. § 109A-3 — 403 (Ga. L. 1962, pp. 156, 257).

On condition that the part of the judgment in excess of $2,581.54 principal and $333.15 attorney’s fees be written off, the judgment is affirmed; otherwise reversed.

Judgment affirmed on condition.

Bell, P. J., and Hall, J., concur.
