Opinion

Evans, Judge.

Whether this case be by "direct appeal or otherwise” (even though it is designated as a cross appeal to Gray v. American Bank of Atlanta, 121 Ga. App. 442, from the denial of plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, the sole enumeration being on the denial of this judgment, it can only be reviewed by this court under Section 25 of the 1967 amendment to § 56 (h) of the Civil Practice Act (Ga.

L. 1968, pp. [444]*4441072, 1073; Code Ann. §6-701, supra) expressly states a review of the order shall be governed by Section 56(h) as amended, supra. Hood v. General Shoe Corp., 119 Ga. App. 649 (168 SE2d 326); Skylark Enterprises v. Marsh & McLennan, 121 Ga. App. 235 (1) (173 SE2d 421). Since there is no certification in the record it cannot be reviewed, and it must be
