Navigating the Georgia Civil Practice Act
In Georgia, civil litigation is strictly governed by the Civil Practice Act (OCGA § 9-11). While Magistrate Courts (claims up to $15,000) are more informal, Superior and State Courts require rigorous adherence to procedural norms. One unique aspect of Georgia law is the “Dispossessory Action” for landlord-tenant disputes, which follows an expedited timeline.
