JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Failure to pay fee.

- Although a store patron in a slip and fall case failed to file the fee required by O.C.G.A. § 15-6-77.3(b), made applicable to the state court by O.C.G.A. § 15-7-43(a), the state court properly chose to file the notice of appeal and deal with the fee thereafter, in line with the Supreme Court's admonition that courts engage in more expeditious handling of cases involving minor procedural errors.
