Supreme Court of Georgia.
Jul 12, 1990
WELTNER, Justice.
We granted certiorari to the Court of Appeals in Motor Convoy, Inc. v. Brannen, 194 Ga. App. 795 ( 391 S.E.2d 671) (1990), to determine:
Whether a consent judgment between the plaintiff and a joint tort-feasor defendant who is a resident divests a court of personal jurisdiction over a remaining co-defendant who is a nonresident joint tort-feasor.
In the absence of collusion, the question must be answered in the negative.
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
DECIDED JULY 12, 1990.
