JUDICIAL DECISIONS Editor’s notes. - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, annotations decided under former Code 1933, and rendered prior to the 2000 amendment are included in the annotations for this Code section. Service on franchise not effective as to franchisor. - Service of process made on a franchise is not effective as to the franchisor, since a franchise contract

under which one operates a type of business on a royalty basis does not create an agency or a partnership relationship. Arthur Murray, Inc. v. Smith, 124 Ga. App. 51, 183 S.E.2d 66 (1971) (decided under former Code 1933). Cited in Castleberry v. Gold Agency, Inc., 124 Ga. App. 694, 185 S.E.2d 557 (1971).
