JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Effect of judgment of reversal on appellant and trial judge.

- The judgment of reversal, without more, operates only to vacate the orders and decree as therein stated, and to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction, on the filing of the remittitur in the office of the clerk of the trial court; it neither serves as a substitute for findings for the appellant, nor enlarges the powers of the trial judge in reference thereto. Holton v. Lankford, 189 Ga. 506, 6 S.E.2d 304 (1939).

Cases are "sent back" to trial court when remittitur of Court of Appeals is transmitted to and filed in the office of its clerk. Hagan v. Robert & Co. Assocs., 222 Ga. 469, 150 S.E.2d 663 (1966).
