Bridges v. Mutual Benefit Health & Accident Ass'n

1. A judgment of a judge of the municipal court of Atlanta rendered in a case tried before Mm without a jury on issues of law and fact, and which is tantamount to a verdict of a jury, may be rendered orally by public announcement of the judge in open court, as provided in section 42 of an act approved the 20th day of August, 1913 *553(Ga. L. 1913, p. 145). After the judge has orally announced a judgment for the defendant, but before the judgment has been reduced to writing, it is too late for the plaintiff to orally dismiss the case.
