(Ga. L. 1953, Jan.-Feb. Sess., p. 380, § 2; Ga. L. 1953, Nov.-Dec. Sess., p. 395, § 2; Ga. L. 1995, p. 244, § 4; Ga. L. 2008, p. 458, § 3/SB 364.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

"Owner" construed.

- Landowner who allowed her cousin to keep his cattle on her property, provided he maintained the fence around the property, did not come within the statutory definition of an "owner." Evancho v. Baker, 196 Ga. App. 903, 397 S.E.2d 166 (1990).

Owner of a pasture who allowed her son to keep his horse in the pasture was not an "owner" of the horse as that term is defined in this Code section. Supchak v. Pruitt, 232 Ga. App. 680, 503 S.E.2d 581 (1998).
