144 Ga. App. 303 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1977
Charles McDonald, d/b/a McDonald Electric Company, was awarded a bid as prime contractor to erect a building at Robins Air Force Base. He entered into an oral contract with his father, John McDonald, d/b/a McDonald Welding & Machine Shop, for the welding assembly and other work on the structure. Shortly thereafter John McDonald became ill and was hospitalized, and Welding Specialty orally agreed to
While a contract might be implied by law under the evidence here (Code § 3-107; Pembroke Steel Co. v. Technical Sales Associates, 138 Ga. App. 744 (1, 3) (227 SE2d 491) (1976)), we conclude that a valid assignment of the oral welding subcontract actually occurred. See Simpson, Law of Contracts 262, § 125 (2d Ed.). "Where a jury returns a verdict and it has the approval of the trial judge, the same must be affirmed on appeal if there is any evidence to support it as the jurors are the sole and exclusive judges of the weight and credit given the evidence. [Cits.]” Taylor v. Ga. Power Co., 136 Ga. App. 412 (1) (221 SE2d 222) (1975); Minter v. Reid, 143 Ga. App. 92 (1977). We find no error for any reason assigned.
Judgment affirmed.
