Universal C. I. T. Credit Corp. v. Pritchett

Carlisle, Presiding Judge.

1. An affidavit of illegality may not go behind the judgment or other proceeding upon which *423the fi. fa. is based. Duvall v. Barron, 14 Ga. App. 304 (80 SE 701); Childs v. State Bank of Chicago, 31 Ga. App. 533 (121 SE 254); Courson v. Manufacturers Finance Acceptance Corp., 41 Ga. App. 551 (153 SE 624). Illegality to executions is a purely statutory proceeding, and no equitable defenses which attempt to go behind the judgment may be allowed. Cf. Bowen v. Groover, 77 Ga. 126.

Decided September 22, 1961. L. Hugh Kemp, Pittman, Kinney & Pope, for plaintiff in error.…
