Opinion
An "appearance” card, containing no admissions, denials, or statements of inability to answer for any reason, does not meet the statutory standards for a pleading as set forth in Code Ann. § 81A-112 (b) (Ga. L. 1966, pp. 609, 622; 1967, pp. 226, 231; 1968, pp. 1104, 1106; 1972, pp. 689, 692, 693) and Code Ann. § 81A-108 (b) (Ga. L. 1966, pp. 609, 619; 1967, pp. 226, 230); therefore, the Judge of the State Court of DeKalb County erred in his order ruling that the filing of such an "appearance” card only in this action on an open account, constituted an answer that joined the issues in the case.
Judgment reversed.
