This is the second appearance of this case before this court. See Fulton County Bd. of Tax Assessors v. Love, 289 Ga. App. 252 ( 656 SE2d 576) (2008) (reversing superior court's dismissal of appeal for delay in filing a transcript for transmission as part of the appellate record). The BTA maintains on appeal that the superior court lacked jurisdiction over the case because the Loves' notice of appeal to the superior court was ineffective.
