- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under former Code 1933, § 22-1210, are included in the annotations for this Code section.
- A company must be treated as a de facto corporation within the period in which the charter may be renewed when the record shows no facts to the effect that a revival of the corporation may not yet be had.

- If the defendant insurance company were dissolved, its dissolution would not operate to extinguish the demand or cause of action against it in this state, and "pending suits may be prosecuted and enforced to a conclusion as though such corporation were still undissolved."

- The statute as to the depositing of bonds and retaining them so long as there is a pending claim in the state, and the statute providing for the prosecution of pending suits after the dissolution of a foreign corporation, are a part of the general scheme of the Georgia law to protect Georgia citizens in the collection of just claims against foreign corporations which are dissolved and which have their principal assets in another state. Manufacturing Lumbermen's Underwriters v. South Ga. Ry., 57 Ga. App. 699, 196 S.E. 244 (1938) (decided under former Code 1933, § 22-1210).
- The bonds which a foreign insurance corporation doing business in this state is required to deposit with the state treasurer (now director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services) are to prevent a suit against a dissolved corporation from being futile and unavailing; and a suit brought in a local court is a condition precedent to the appropriation of the bonds held by the state treasurer (now director of the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services) to the payment of a fire loss. Manufacturing Lumbermen's Underwriters v. South Ga. Ry., 57 Ga. App. 699, 196 S.E. 244 (1938) (decided under former Code 1933, § 22-1210).
- Former Code 1933, § 22-1210 (see now O.C.G.A. § 14-4-161) existed for the purposes therein named.
