2017Holding that it was not the intent of the legislature to deny such parties the ability to file their new actions under the statute, the court in Daugherty defined “costs” to exclude costs unknown to the party after a good faith inquiry Daugherty, 174 Ga. App. at 91 .

1996This is not a case as in Daugherty, supra at 91 , 329 S.E.2d 202 , where the costs were "unknown to plaintiff after a good faith inquiry." Rather, Butler clearly knew the balance due as of July 10, 1995, yet made no effort to pay the full amount as required by the statute.
