Legal Opinion

Bleckley v. Bleckley

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided September 16, 1939No. 12894Published

1Opinion of the Court

Bell, Justice.

(After stating the foregoing facts.)

As we construe the allegations and prayers, the plaintiff sought conventional subrogation, an equitable remedy, independently of statute. Whether the petition stated a cause of action for this relief is a different question. The jurisdiction of this court is not limited to good cases in equity, but will embrace both good and bad equity cases. O’Callaghan v. Bank of Eastman, 180 Ga. 812, 818 (180 S. E. 847). Nor is a plaintiff required to classify or name his petition. Malone v. Robinson, 77 Ga. 719 (2-a); English v. Little, 164 Ga. 805 (2-a)…
