JUDICIAL DECISIONS Superior courts have jurisdiction in matters of partition; therefore, a petition to a city court for a partition of personal property is a nullity and not
amendable. Roberson v. Bennett, 20 Ga. App. 590, 93 S.E. 297, 1917 Ga. App. LEXIS 978 (1917).

ARTICLE 2 CHOSES IN ACTION JUDICIAL DECISIONS No particular language needed for valid assignment of chose in action. - To constitute a valid assignment of a chose in action, either in toto or pro tanto, no particular form of words or formal instrument is necessary. Any language
which makes an appropriation of the funds amounts to an equitable assignment. Salzburger Bank v. Standard Oil Co., 173 Ga. 722, 161 S.E. 584, 1931 Ga. LEXIS 390 (1931).
