JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Levy failing to state that property was levied on as property of the defendant was amendable and such defect was not ground for arresting judgment. Flegal v. Loveless, 93 Ga. App. 41, 90 S.E.2d 606 (1955).

Absence of signature on notice of attachment.

- Although notices of attachment were not signed by the plaintiff, the plaintiff's attorney, or anyone as agent for the plaintiff, where the notices conveyed information required by statute and defendants were in no manner prejudiced by absence of a signature, the notice was sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to judgment on the declaration filed as at common law. Stalvey v. Varn Motors & Fin. Co., 56 Ga. App. 696, 193 S.E. 627 (1937).
