Opinion

Weltner, Justice.

We granted certiorari to the Court of Appeals in Motor Convoy, Inc. v. Brannen, 194 Ga. App. 795 (391 SE2d 671) (1990), to determine:

Whether a consent judgment between the plaintiff and a joint tort-feasor defendant who is a resident divests a court of personal jurisdiction over a remaining co-defendant who is a nonresident joint tort-feasor.

In the absence of collusion, the question must be answered in the negative.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
