Savannah Bank & Trust Co. v. Keane
Savannah Bank & Trust Co. v. Keane
Opinion of the Court
The appeal in this case was taken from an order denying what the appellant styled a motion for reconsideration by which it sought as garnishee, to amend its answer to a garnishment proceeding. In a proceeding of this type a judgment against the garnishee can not be obtained until judgment is entered against the defendant in the original proceeding. See Baker Mercantile Co. v. Hancock Bros. & Co., 20 Ga. App. 799 (2) (93 SE 496); Wilson v. Bank of Louisiana, 55 Ga. 98. The order appealed from was not a final judgment and did not fall within the exceptions of Code Ann. § 6-701 (a3) (Ga. L. 1965, p. 18; 1968, pp. 1072, 1073). Hence, since the trial judge did not enter a certificate of immediate review, the appeal is premature and must be
Dismissed.
