JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Failure to name Board of Registration and Elections as a party.

- In an election contest, the trial court did not err in denying an incumbent's motion to dismiss a challenger's lawsuit merely because that challenger failed to name the Board of Registration and Elections as the proper party defendant, as the failure to name the proper parties was an amendable defect, correctable by the parties or upon the court's own motion. Brodie v. Champion, 281 Ga. 105, 636 S.E.2d 511 (2006).
