JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Action properly brought in county in which property was located.

- Neither the probate court nor the superior court erred in refusing to transfer an action seeking removal of an obstruction from a private way to the county in which the defendant resided since such action was properly brought in the county in which the property at issue was located. Lee v. Collins, 249 Ga. App. 674, 547 S.E.2d 583 (2001).
