TITLE 46 PUBLIC UTILITIES AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Section 8. Railroad Companies, 46-8-1 through 46-8-382.

ARTICLE 11 VENUE AND SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ACTIONS AGAINST RAILROAD COMPANIES

46-8-311. Manner of service of process on lessee of railroad.

When any person is sued as the lessee of a railroad, service of a petition, summons, or other process may be effected by delivering a copy thereof to the depot agent or other officer of such lessee in the county where the action is pending, or by leaving a copy at the place where the usual and ordinary public business of such lessee in said county is transacted.

(Ga. L. 1884-85, p. 49, § 2; Civil Code 1895, § 2336; Civil Code 1910, § 2800; Code 1933, § 94-1103.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Single service though defendant sued in double capacity.

- Where a corporation is sued in its corporate name generally, and also as lessee of another corporation, for a tort committed jointly by the corporation individually and as lessee, service of process properly made upon an agent of the corporation is good against it in both capacities. Snipes v. Atlanta & W.P.R.R., 7 Ga. App. 700, 67 S.E. 1046 (1910).
