Estes v. Estes
Estes v. Estes
Opinion of the Court
When this litigation was here before (Estes v. Estes, 205 Ga. 814, 55 S. E. 2d, 217), we affirmed the judgment complained of, but directed that it be amended in certain specified particulars. After the remittitur reached the trial court, but before the judgment was amended, the plaintiff in error requested the court to reopen the case and hear
The exception is not meritorious.' Where, in affirming a judgment, this court gives direction to the trial court to amend its decree in a certain specified manner, the trial court on receipt of the remittitur has no power or discretion to vary or modify the direction given, but must enter judgment in compliance with the instructions contained therein. See Code, §§ 6-1610, 6-1804; Jones v. Hurst, 95 Ga. 286 (22 S. E. 122).
Judgment affirmed.
