Taylor v. Floyd Pike Electrical Contractors, Inc.
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Whitman, Judge.
1. The refusal of the trial court to permit the plaintiff at the outset of his case to cross examine one of the defendants as an opposite party is enumerated as error. See Code Ann. § 38-1801. The court ruled that plaintiff would have to examine the defendant as his own witness since he had him under subpoena and had sworn him along with his own witnesses. However, if there was error, it has not been shown to have been harmful. Later in the case this defendant testified as a witness in his own behalf and was subjected to a thorough and sifting cross examination by the plaintiff.
