Bivings v. City of Atlanta
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided September 13, 1956 · Mobley
94 S.E.2d 735; 212 Ga. 654; 1956 Ga. LEXIS 483 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Bivings v. City of Atlanta

Opinion

Mobley, Justice.

The plaintiff in error seeks to have reviewed a judgment sustaining a general demurrer to his petition for a declaratory judgment. His petition does not allege any basis for equitable relief, nor is it converted info an equitable action by virtue of a prayer for an injunction to maintain the status of the parties until the legal questions presented therein may be settled. Milwaukee Mechanics’ Ins. Co. v. Davis, 204 Ga. 67, 70 (48 S. E. 2d 876); Findley v. City of Vidalia, 204 Ga. 279 (49 S. E. 2d 658); Georgia Casualty & Surety Co. v. Turner, 208 Ga. 782 (60 S. E. 2d 771); Peoples v. Bass, 211 Ga. 802 (89 S. E. 2d 171). The petition involves only questions of law which the Court of Appeals, and not this court, has jurisdiction to decide. Therefore, the case must be

Transferred to the Court of Appeals.

All the Justices concur.
