(Orig. Code 1863, § 3449; Code 1868, § 3469; Code 1873, § 3520; Code 1882, § 3520; Civil Code 1895, § 5127; Civil Code 1910, § 5713; Code 1933, § 81-1408.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

The grant of a continuance is within the sound discretion of the trial court for the purpose of amending an affidavit; thus, in a summary judgment proceeding, a continuance may be denied absent a showing of due diligence by the applicant. Landers v. Georgia Baptist Medical Ctr., 175 Ga. App. 500, 333 S.E.2d 884 (1985).

Cited in Boyd v. Clements, 8 Ga. 522 (1850).
