Lee v. O'Quinngreen

1971The ruling by the majority of the court that acceleration of the indebtedness could be made only upon declaration thereof by the holder, and notification of such determination to the obligor, was based on Lee v. O'Quinn, 184 Ga. 44, 45 , supra. In that case the acceleration clause of the note provided that failure to comply with the terms of the contract would accelerate the principal "at the option of the holder of this note," and this court, with one Justice dissenting, held that a default in payment did not automatically accelerate the indebtedness, but the creditor must evidence his intent
