- For comment, "Providing Fair Relief in Georgia Dispossessory Proceedings," see 32 Georgia St. U.L. Rev. 1003 (2016).
- In a dispossessory action by the buyer at a foreclosure sale against the occupant of the foreclosed-upon property, a challenge to the validity of the foreclosure failed because the occupant could not attack dispossession without first setting aside the foreclosure and deed. Even if the occupant's defenses were available in a dispossessory proceeding, the court could not review those defenses because the occupant failed to include a trial transcript in the record. Owens v. Green Tree Servicing LLC, 300 Ga. App. 22, 684 S.E.2d 99 (2009).
- In a dispossessory action brought by the buyer at a foreclosure sale against the occupant of the property that had been foreclosed upon, the occupant could not assert the alleged invalidity of the foreclosure sale as a defense. Moreover, the occupant failed to include a trial transcript in the record on appeal. Jackman v. Lasalle Bank, N.A., 299 Ga. App. 894, 683 S.E.2d 925 (2009).
