Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Applicability. - Trial court properly granted summary judgment against a home buyer’s claim that the sale of the property at issue failed to comply with the Georgia Land Sales Act (Act), O.C.G.A. § 44-3-1 et seq., as the property contained a house suitable for occupancy at the time of the sale; further, despite the buyer’s argument that the statutory exemption under O.C.G.A. § 44-3-4(2)
