WILES v. BROTHERS

WEBB, Judge.

In this contested adoption case, the trial court erred in failing to make findings of fact and conclusions of law as required by CPA § 52 (a) (Code Ann. § 81A-152 (a)). Githens v. Githens, 234 Ga. 715 ( 217 S.E.2d 291); Avery v. Avery, 234 Ga. 729 ( 218 S.E.2d 19). We remand the appeal with direction that the trial court vacate the judgment, cause appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law to be made, and enter a new judgment thereon, after which the losing party shall be free to enter a new appeal. Hagin v. Powers, 136 Ga. App. 395, and cases cited.

Appeal remanded with direction. Bell, C. J., and Marshall, J., concur.
