Melton v. Grider

166 S.E.2d 915, 119 Ga. App. 376, 1969 Ga. App. LEXIS 1107

Opinion

Ebbrhardt, Judge.

In an action seeking property damages resulting from an automobile collision, an order striking the answer and cross action of the defendants and refusing to open the default is not an order which can be directly appealed from under the Appellate Practice Act (Ga. L. 1965, p. 18, as amended; Code Ann. § 6-701) without the certification of the trial judge as permitted by Ga. L. 1968, pp. 1072, 1073 (Code Ann. § 6-701 (a) 2). Mills v. Sauls, 90 Ga.
