Narrative Opinion Summary
The Supreme Court of Georgia addressed the case Tingle v. Atlanta Federal Savings & Loan Association, concerning the confirmation of a land sale executed under a power of sale. The court determined that this action, while it involved the potential for title issues, primarily aimed to confirm the sale itself, thus falling outside the Supreme Court's jurisdiction. Instead, the matter was deemed appropriate for the Court of Appeals, as established in prior cases such as Water Power Mining Co. v. Arnold, Colley v. Atlanta W.P.R. Co., and Lewis v. Fry. The ruling concluded with all justices concurring in the decision to transfer the case to the Court of Appeals.
