110 Ga. App. 287 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1964
1. These cases, except as to one ground, raise the identical questions decided in Cravey v. Citizens &c. Nat. Bank, 110 Ga. App. ante, and are controlled by the decision there adverse to the plaintiff in error.
2. The contention is here made that the defendant employed a named licensed practicing attorney to defend each such action, but that such attorney through inadvertence and mistake failed to file defensive pleadings although the defendant made inquiry and was advised that such defensive pleadings were filed on his behalf by such attorney before the action became in default. It was also alleged that the defendant conferred with such attorney within a week of the time such actions were served, that such attorney took the service copies of the petitions and process for the purpose of filing defensive pleadings, advising the defendant that he would file them, and later advised the defendant that he had filed them, but through inadvertence, mistake of law and of fact, the defensive pleadings were not filed.
The additional ground of the motion seeking to arrest the judgments are not based on any alleged defects appearing on the
Judgments affirmed.
