Southland Corp. v. Garren
Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court
Pannell, Presiding Judge.
The decision in this case (reported in 135 Ga. App. 77 (217 SE2d 347)) was reversed by the Supreme Court of this state on certiorari to the Court of Appeals because of a holding therein that the matter involved was an action for slander, rather than libel, and the application of principles of slander rather than libel to the decision of the case. See Garren v. Southland Corp., 235 Ga. 784 (221 SE2d 571). The judgment in the prior decision has, accordingly, been vacated and the opinion rewritten, including the statement of facts.
