MOTOR CONVOY, INC. v. BRANNEN

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.
