JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Former Civil Code 1910, § 1146 (see now O.C.G.A. § 48-3-20) must be construed with former Civil Code 1910, § 1144 (see now O.C.G.A. § 48-3-8). Palmer v. Phinizy, 151 Ga. 589, 107 S.E. 852 (1921).

Failure to award interest.

- When a trial court found a tax commissioner improperly refused to pay a tax execution holder's executions, but did not find that the commissioner had good cause for the refusal and did not award the holder 20 percent interest, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 15-13-3(a), the matter had to be remanded for a determination of the good cause issue and to consider the holder's entitlement to one percent interest per month, pursuant to O.C.G.A. §§ 48-3-20 and48-2-40. Scott v. Vesta Holdings I, LLC, 275 Ga. App. 196, 620 S.E.2d 447 (2005).
