227 S.E.2d 524; 138 Ga. App. 841; 1976 Ga. App. LEXIS 2338
(South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)
Battles v. Battles
Opinion
This is a post-judgment garnishment case which was commenced prior to July 1, 1975, pursuant to our then existing garnishment statutes. The Supreme Court in Coursin v. Harper, 236 Ga. 729, held that the Georgia procedure for pre-judgment and post-judgment garnishment as it existed prior to July 1, 1975, failed to provide due process and was unconstitutional. Coursin *842 controls and the judgment of the trial court for the plaintiff must be reversed.
Judgment reversed.
