TITLE 15 COURTS

Section 7. State Courts of Counties, 15-7-1 through 15-7-85.

ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

15-7-3. Applicability of chapter; conflicts with local laws.

This chapter shall apply to and govern all state courts; and, unless otherwise provided in this chapter, in all cases in which there is a conflict between this chapter and the local law creating the state court, this chapter shall take priority and shall be controlling.

(Code 1981, §15-7-3, enacted by Ga. L. 1983, p. 1419, § 2.)

Cross references.

- Local laws not in conflict with chapter to remain in effect, § 15-7-60.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Speedy trial provisions.

- As O.C.G.A. § 15-7-43(b), enacted in 1983, incorporates the speedy trial provisions of O.C.G.A. § 17-7-170 by reference, those provisions supersede a 1981 local law provision entitling a defendant in a state court to discharge and acquittal if no trial is had at the term when the demand is made or within the next two succeeding regular terms thereafter. Majia v. State, 174 Ga. App. 432, 330 S.E.2d 171, aff'd, 254 Ga. 660, 333 S.E.2d 834 (1985); Parks v. State, 239 Ga. App. 333, 521 S.E.2d 370 (1999).
