Jackson v. Commercial Credit Corp.
Citations: 210 Ga. 289; 80 S.E.2d 1; 1954 Ga. LEXIS 291Docket: 18425
Court: Supreme Court of Georgia; January 12, 1954; Georgia; State Supreme Court
The plaintiff claims that the defendant breached a contract regarding the purchase of an automobile by charging interest above the legal limit. The plaintiff seeks to recover these alleged excessive charges as damages. The court determines that since the plaintiff's petition only requests legal relief, the proper jurisdiction for the writ of error is the Court of Appeals, despite some allegations being relevant to an equitable proceeding. The case is transferred to the Court of Appeals, with all Justices concurring except Chief Justice Duckworth, who did not participate.
