ARGUED OCTOBER 3, 1972.
DECIDED NOVEMBER 28, 1972.
Action for damages. Chatham Superior Court. Before Judge Harrison.
Michael J. Gannam, Kenneth H. Cail, for appellant.
Bouhan, Williams Levy, Leamon R. Holliday, III, for appellees.
The appellant employed the appellee, a nonresident corporation, to repair the brakes of his automobile in Winchester, Kentucky. Upon their return to Georgia the brakes failed and the appellant's wife was involved in a collision while driving the automobile. The appellant then filed a claim against the appellee in Chatham County, Georgia, alleging that the appellee had not properly repaired the brakes. A motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction was sustained and the appellant filed an appeal. Held:
The appellant neither does any business in this State nor engages in any activity which would give our courts jurisdiction under our long arm statute. Code Ann. § 24-113.1 (Ga. L. 1966, p. 343, as amended, Ga. L. 1970, pp. 443, 444).
Judgment affirmed. Hall, P. J., and Pannell, J., concur.
