Ehrlich & Brother v. Shuptrine

45 S.E. 279, 117 Ga. 882, 1903 Ga. LEXIS 377

Opinion

Simmons, C. J.

Asa city court lias no jurisdiction to grant affirmative equitable’ relief, it can not entertain a proceeding to set aside an assignment. If the assignment is void on its face, it is unnecessary to resort to any proceeding, legal or equitable, to have it so declared; if for other reasons it should beset aside, the proceeding therefor should be brought in a court having equitable jurisdiction. Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.

Petition to vacate assignment. Before Judge Bower. City court of Bainbridge. September 4, 1902.

Townsend &■ Westmoreland, for plaintiffs. A. H. & B. B. Bussell and B. W. Fleming, for defendants.
