Bryant v. J. Scott Rentals, Inc.

Georgia Court of Appeals December 1, 1976

Bryant v. J. Scott Rentals, Inc., 140 Ga. App. 770 (1976)

232 S.E.2d 123; 1976 Ga. App. LEXIS 1625

Bell

Opinion of the Court

Bell, Chief Judge.

This is an appeal and a cross appeal taken from a judgment in favor of plaintiff in a post-judgment garnishment proceeding. The post-judgment part of the 1976 statute was held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in City Finance Co. v. Winston, 238 Ga. 10. In the *771case of Carroll v. Carroll, 139 Ga. App. 308 (228 SE2d 347) the 1976 statute was held to be applicable to all cases pending on appeal. Thus as the 1976 statute applies to this case and the statute now has no post-judgment provision, the proceeding appealed must be held void and of no effect. Rose, Silverman & Hunt v. Ben O’Callaghan Co., 134 Ga. App. 648 (215 SE2d 515).
