JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Service upon joint-secretary is insufficient to obtain appearance of individual board members.

- Service upon the joint-secretary of the state examining boards, in reliance upon provisions of former Code 1933, §§ 84-101 and 84-102 (see now O.C.G.A. § 43-1-2), was not sufficient to obtain appearance of individual members of the Georgia Board of Dentistry since the board was itself a legal entity capable of suing and being sued under former Code 1933, § 84-702 (see now O.C.G.A. § 43-11-2). Clark v. Board of Dental Exmrs., 240 Ga. 289, 240 S.E.2d 250 (1977).
