Upon proof of the same, defendant and claimant having the same power to resist the case as in claim cases where damages are claimed, the jury, under instructions from the court, may give damages as in cases where the claim is not withdrawn but is submitted for trial to the jury. The cases so submitted shall be tried at the time of the disposal of the claim if the parties are ready, but continuances shall be granted as in other cases.","path":["TITLE 9 Civil Practice","CHAPTER 13 Executions and Judicial Sales","Article 5 Claims"],"source_url":"https://archive.org/download/gov.ga.ocga.2018/release86.2022.11/gov.ga.ocga.title.09.odt","current_through":"Release 86 (2022-11)","vintage":"Public.Resource.Org bulk O.C.G.A., Release 86 (2022-11), retrieved 2026-09-17","retrieved_at":"2026-09-17T19:34:57Z","sha256":"0756449d02918a8c0b97ab6d61572625518ab9e4610f790834f7a724e0f28305","source_id":"us-ga","stale":false,"prev":"us-ga/o.c.g.a.-9-13-103","next":"us-ga/o.c.g.a.-9-13-105"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
