    We granted certiorari to attempt to eliminate confusion which has arisen out of the three previous appellate decisions in this case. See Grant v. Bell, 153 Ga. App. 832 ( 266 S.E.2d 512) (1980); Bell v. Grant, 244 Ga. 665 ( 261 S.E.2d 616) (1979); and Grant v. Bell, 150 Ga. App. 141 ( 257 S.E.2d 12) (1979). In the interest of judicial economy, we will decide the remaining issue of this appeal.

  3. Davis v. Jones

    377 S.E.2d 163 (Ga. Ct. App. 1988)   Cited 2 times

    Since we do not know what Clifford would have said if cross-examined further, we cannot rule that exclusion was harmful. Dubberly v. P. F. Moon Co., 184 Ga. App. 221, 223 (2) ( 361 S.E.2d 223) (1987); Lakeview Estates v. Hilltop c. Inc., 153 Ga. App. 323, 325 (2) ( 265 S.E.2d 120) (1980); Grant v. Bell, 150 Ga. App. 141, 145 (2) ( 257 S.E.2d 12) (1979), rev'd on other grounds, Bell v. Grant, 244 Ga. 665 ( 261 S.E.2d 616) (1979). Since appellant has failed to show that she was precluded by the judge's ruling from impeaching Clifford by his deposition or rebutting Carey by Clifford's further testimony or the deposition, there is no reversible error.

    ]" Cooper v. Mercantile Nat. Bank, 137 Ga. App. 605, 611 ( 224 S.E.2d 442) (1976). Accord Grant v. Bell, 150 Ga. App. 141 (2) ( 257 S.E.2d 12), revd. on other grounds, Bell v.

Although the contract itself is not a part of the record in this case, the transcript discloses that defendant succeeded, at least to some extent, in calling to the attention of the trial court the substance of what he contended was material in the sales contract.

    QUILLIAN, Presiding Judge. On certiorari the Supreme Court, Bell v. Grant, 244 Ga. 665, 666 ( 261 S.E.2d 616), has reversed a portion of our decision in Grant v. Bell, 150 Ga. App. 141 ( 257 S.E.2d 12). Citing authority involving situations where the terms of a will were certain and unambiguous the Supreme Court held: "In the present case, the testatrix empowered the life tenants to sell timber `provided that such action shall be unanimously agreed to by such life tenants, and provided further that such instrument or instruments employed to evidence such action shall be executed by all of such life tenants.'

  7. Lakeview Estates v. Hilltop c. Inc.

    265 S.E.2d 120 (Ga. Ct. App. 1980)   Cited 1 times

    The trial court did not err in directing a verdict for the appellee on the negligence portion of appellant Swisher's counterclaim. Regardless of whether a proper foundation was laid to support the appellant's testimony as to the value of his property pursuant to Code ยง 38-1709, the exclusion of that testimony does not constitute reversible error because no offer of proof was made. "[T]here is no legal ground to complain of the failure to admit certain evidence or testimony where it is not shown what the evidence or testimony would have been. Mulcay v. Mulcay, 223 Ga. 309 (2) ( 154 S.E.2d 607)." Grant v. Bell, 150 Ga. App. 141, 145 (2) ( 257 S.E.2d 12) (1979). Judgment affirmed. McMurray, P. J., and Smith, J., concur.
