(Code 1981, §44-3-1, enacted by Ga. L. 1982, p. 1431, § 1; Ga. L. 1990, p. 606, § 1; Ga. L. 1995, p. 993, § 1.)

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) did not apply to residential property, giving the words of the exemption their plain and ordinary meaning, the exemption had to be read as excluding from the Act property upon which either a commercial building, an industrial building, a condominium, a shopping center, a house, or an apartment house was situated.
