JUDICIAL DECISIONS

This section is a codification of common law. Dixon v. Sable, 147 Ga. 623, 95 S.E. 240 (1918).

Mere intention to apply for writ does not operate as a supersedeas. Seamans v. King, 79 Ga. 611, 5 S.E. 53 (1887).

There is no supersedeas prior to sanction of petition in absence of special order. Seamans v. King, 79 Ga. 611, 5 S.E. 53 (1887).

Certiorari stops case at stage where the case is when certiorari is served on magistrate; certiorari does not move case backwards. Taylor v. Gay, 20 Ga. 77 (1856); Board of Comm'rs v. Wimberly, 55 Ga. 570 (1876); Johns v. McBride, 28 Ga. App. 686, 112 S.E. 831 (1922).

If on hearing in superior court writ is denied, supersedeas ends and inferior court may proceed. Loeb v. Mangum, 134 Ga. 335, 67 S.E. 882 (1910); Equitable Life Assurance Soc'y v. Culp, 159 Ga. 874, 127 S.E. 225 (1925).

In bailable criminal cases, supersedeas stays execution of sentence, but does not discharge prisoner from confinement. Dixon v. State, 121 Ga. 346, 49 S.E. 311 (1904).
