Court of Appeals of Georgia

208 S.E.2d 22 (Ga. Ct. App. 1974)

Opinion

49250.

SUBMITTED APRIL 1, 1974.

DECIDED JULY 3, 1974.

Plea to jurisdiction. Douglas Superior Court. Before Judge Murphy.

William F. Brackett, for appellant.

Cobb, Blandford Werbin, Samuel N. Werbin, for appellee.


CPA § 8 (a) (Code Ann. § 81A-108 (a)) requires that the original complaint shall contain facts upon which the court's venue depends. In most cases a bare allegation of the defendant's residence within the county will suffice. Martin v. Approved Bancredit Corp., 224 Ga. 550, 551 ( 163 S.E.2d 885). The allegation that defendant "is a resident of Douglas County" is sufficient in this case.

The trial judge's denial of the motion to dismiss the complaint is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed. Quillian and Clark, JJ., concur.

SUBMITTED APRIL 1, 1974 — DECIDED JULY 3, 1974.
