170 Ga. 640 | Ga. | 1930
A corporation chartered by a superior court of this State for the purpose “of pecuniary gain,” which owns one piece of real estate, and which does nothing but collect and distribute among its shareholders the rent received (for such property) from another corporation is not “doing business” within the meaning of section 1 of the Act approved August 29, 1929 (Ga. Laws 1929, p. 85). The court therefore did not err in granting injunction. United States v. Emery-Bird-Thayer Realty Co., 237 U. S. 28 (35 Sup. Ct. 499, 59 L. ed. 825) ; McCoach v. Minehill &c. R.
