TITLE 9 CIVIL PRACTICE

Section 7. Auditors, 9-7-1 through 9-7-23.

ARTICLE 4 QUO WARRANTO

9-7-20. Form of jury's verdict.

In all cases the jury shall find for or against each exception submitted, seriatim.

(Ga. L. 1894, p. 123, § 20; Civil Code 1895, § 4600; Civil Code 1910, § 5146; Code 1933, § 10-406.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Only function of jury in trial of exceptions of fact to auditor's report is to pass upon issues of fact raised by exceptions. Holton v. Lankford, 189 Ga. 506, 6 S.E.2d 304 (1939).

Each exception seriatim.

- Where the jury fails to find according to this section, the verdict will be set aside. Harris v. Lumpkin, 136 Ga. 47, 70 S.E. 869 (1911) (see O.C.G.A. § 9-7-20).

Court is not required to pass seriatim on each exception where reference is made to it without the intervention of a jury. Murray v. Hawkins, 144 Ga. 613, 67 S.E. 1068 (1916).

Failure of party to object to reception of verdict will not preclude the party from subsequently attacking it. Whitfield-Baker Co. v. Anderson, 147 Ga. 242, 93 S.E. 406 (1917).
