377 S.E.2d 502 | Ga. | 1989
Jack Jersawitz appeals from the denial of his application for writ of prohibition
We affirm. Shantha v. Municipal Court of Atlanta, 240 Ga. 280, 281 (240 SE2d 32) (1977); Buie v. Buie, 175 Ga. 27 (165 SE 15) (1932).
Judgment affirmed.
“The writ of prohibition is the counterpart of mandamus, to restrain subordinate courts and inferior judicial tribunals from exceeding their jurisdiction, where no other legal remedy or relief is given. The granting or refusal thereof is governed by the same principles of right, necessity, and justice as apply to mandamus.” OCGA § 9-6-40.
