Voluntary dismissal rule did not apply in magistrate court.

- Trial court erred in relying on O.C.G.A. § 9-11-41 in finding that a tenant failed to object to the landlord's voluntary dismissal of its magistrate court dispossessory action, resulting in the dismissal of the tenant's counterclaim to that action; the Civil Practice Act, O.C.G.A. § 9-11-1 et seq., did not apply to magistrate court suits, O.C.G.A. §§ 15-10-40 and15-10-42, and there was nothing to indicate that the magistrate court opted to follow the Civil Practice Act as permitted by O.C.G.A. § 15-10-44.
