Kyburz v. Cobb Bank & Trust Co.
Kyburz v. Cobb Bank & Trust Co.
Opinion of the Court
The contended basis for jurisdiction of this court in this appeal is an attack on the constitutionality of Ga. L. 1962, pp. 156, 422 (Code Ann. § 109A-9 — 503) which was made in the defendant-appellant’s counterclaim to the appellee-plaintiffs suit on a promissory note.
However, the appellee’s action in seizing the deposits of the appellant in his checking account with the appellee bank was done pursuant to a contractual right of set-off of the matured debt due it by the appellant depositor (Bank of Lawrenceville v. Rockmore & Co., 129 Ga. 582 (2) (59 SE 291) (1907); Briggs v. Southern Bakeries Co., 227 Ga. 663,
Since, as ruled above, the instant case is not an equity case and presents no constitutional question, and since no other question appears which will give this court jurisdiction, the Court of Appeals and not this court has jurisdiction of this case, and it must be and is transferred to that court.
Transferred to the Court of Appeals.
