Williams v. Ray

Quillian, Presiding Judge.

Appeal was taken from the grant of defendant’s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs claim. The defendant had filed a counterclaim which had not been ruled upon prior to the transmittal of the appeal to this court. Held:

There being no compliance with Code Ann. § 6-701 (a) 2 (Ga. L. 1965, p. 18; 1968, pp. 1072,1073), or CPA§ 54 (b) (Code Ann. § 81A-154 (b) (Ga. L. 1966, pp. 609, 658; 1976, pp. 1047, 1049, eff. Sept. 6, 1976)), the instant appeal, brought before final judgment and while a counterclaim was pending, is premature. Roach-Russell, Inc. v. A. B. R. Metals &c.…
