JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Claims filed after effective date.

- Although O.C.G.A Art. 6, Ch. 9, T. 15 is effective for all cases filed on or after July 1, 1986, a petition filed prior to July 1, 1986, predated that date even though some of the claims were filed after that date; hence, jurisdiction of the appeal lay with the superior court, not the supreme court. Porter v. Frazier, 257 Ga. 614, 361 S.E.2d 825 (1987); Walker v. Yarus, 258 Ga. 346, 369 S.E.2d 32 (1988).

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Appointment of emergency guardian pending appeal.

- Under O.C.G.A. § 29-5-11(d), the probate courts, which are authorized to hold jury trials under Ga. L. 1986, p. 982, will not be authorized to appoint an emergency guardian pending appeal. 1986 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U86-18.
