JUDICIAL DECISIONS Venue proper. - Venue of contractors’ action seeking to restrain the Georgia State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors and a county from enforcing a licensing law, O.C.G.A. § 4341-1 et seq., was proper in Muscogee County because there was substantial equitable relief sought that was common to the Board and to the resident county; the complaint alleged that enforcement of the licensing law by both the Board and the

county would cause irreparable injury to the contractors, and it asked that preliminary and permanent injunctions be issued against both the county and the Board enjoining and restraining those entities from exercising any of the powers, rights, or duties respecting enforcement of the licensing law.
