JUDICIAL DECISIONS Authority of court. - O.C.G.A. § 99-30 did not authorize the court to order a charterer and a guarantor to provide security to ship owners pending an arbitration in London as § 9-9-30 does not authorize the creation of interim measures of protection but instead guarantees that resort to a court for interim measures will

not waive the right to arbitrate; the fact that O.C.G.A. § 9-9-38 uses “interim measures” in describing an arbitrator’s authority does not mean that the same authority is granted to the courts.
