WALKER v. WALKER

Supreme Court of Georgia.
Sep 22, 1966

QUILLIAN, Justice.

The Appellate Practice Act of 1965, §§ 4 and 5 ( Code Ann. §§ 6-802, 6-803; Ga. L. 1965, pp. 18, 20, 21, as amended, Ga. L. 1966, pp. 493, 495, 496), requires that an appeal to be held valid must be taken from an appealable decision or judgment of the trial court. Where, as in this case, the record discloses there is no judgment of the trial court of the date and description of that appealed from, the requirement of the statute is not met. Gibson v. Hodges, 221 Ga. 779 ( 147 S.E.2d 329). The omission is fatal; the appeal must be

Dismissed. All the Justices concur.

SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 15, 1966 — DECIDED SEPTEMBER 22, 1966.
