TITLE 44 PROPERTY

Section 14. Mortgages, Conveyances to Secure Debt, and Liens, 44-14-1 through 44-14-613.

ARTICLE 7 FORECLOSURE

44-14-262. Grounds for immediate writ of possession.

The petitioner seeking an immediate writ of possession shall allege under oath specific facts sufficient to show that it is within the power of the defendant to conceal, waste, encumber, convert, convey, or remove from the jurisdiction of the court the property which is the subject matter of the petition or that the petitioner's postjudgment remedy would otherwise be inadequate.

(Code 1933, § 67-710, enacted by Ga. L. 1975, p. 1213, § 3.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

As to who shall have possession pending trial of merits of foreclosure, the merits of foreclosure itself and particularly defenses and counterclaims thereto have no actual relevancy to this question. Ward v. Charles D. Hardwick Co., 156 Ga. App. 96, 274 S.E.2d 20 (1980).

It is error to rule on merits of foreclosure while ostensibly determining merits of writ of immediate possession. Ward v. Charles D. Hardwick Co., 156 Ga. App. 96, 274 S.E.2d 20 (1980).

Cited in Sumner v. Adel Banking Co., 244 Ga. 73, 259 S.E.2d 32 (1979).
