1Opinion of the Court
Smith, Justice.
We granted the writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals in Kesler v. Veal, 182 Ga. App. 444 (356 SE2d 254) (1987), to decide if a conveyance which if found to be fraudulent in law under OCGA § 18-2-22 will support an award of damages. We hold that it will support the award of damages assessed against the debtor, but under the facts in this case, it will not support an award of damages against the taking party. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
