1Per curiam
This appeal presents important issues of Georgia law for which there is unclear precedent in the decisions of the courts of Georgia. Because there are a significant number of similar cases in Georgia involving very substantial amounts of money, we believe that the issue is appropriate for resolution by the Supreme Court of Georgia. We therefore certify the question to the Supreme Court of Georgia pursuant to Ga. Const, art. 6, § 6, para. 4, Ga.Code Ann. § 15-2-9, and Rule 37 of the Georgia Supreme Court.
