ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

No appeal as to any ruling or decision in a mandamus or quo warranto proceeding or in a case involving a writ of prohibition may be taken until there has been a final judgment in the trial court.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

This section does not affect right to file and prosecute motion for new trial in a mandamus case, and does not limit the time within which such a motion must be disposed of. City of Macon v. Herrington, 198 Ga. 576, 32 S.E.2d 517 (1944) (see O.C.G.A. § 9-6-1).

Final judgment on prayer for mandamus prerequisite to appeal.

- Order overruling demurrers (now motions to dismiss), to petition for mandamus and for injunctive relief cannot be reviewed by Supreme Court until there has been a final judgment on the prayer for a mandamus absolute. Walker v. McKenzie, 209 Ga. 653, 74 S.E.2d 870, later appeal, 210 Ga. 189, 78 S.E.2d 486 (1953).

Direct appeal of denial of application in nature of quo warranto.

- The law authorizes a direct appeal to a judgment denying an application to file an information in the nature of a quo warranto. Walker v. Hamilton, 209 Ga. 735, 76 S.E.2d 12 (1953).

Cited in City of Dalton v. Smith, 158 Ga. App. 356, 280 S.E.2d 138 (1981).
