HUDON et al. v. NORTH ATLANTA et al.

DUCKWORTH, Chief Justice.

This case falls within the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals since it is one for a declaration of the rights of the parties and shows that "the status of the respective parties pending the adjudication" should be maintained by the issuance of a temporary injunction. Felton v. Chandler, 201 Ga. 347 ( 39 S.E.2d 654); Milwaukee Mechanics' Ins. Co. v. Davis, 204 Ga. 67 ( 48 S.E.2d 876); Griffin v. Hardware Mut. Ins. Co., 212 Ga. 130 ( 91 S.E.2d 10). To make a case one for equity jurisdiction it must contain allegations and prayers for equitable relief. Decatur County v. Praytor, Howton Wood Contr. Co., 36 Ga. App. 611 ( 137 S.E. 918); City of Summerville v. Georgia Power Co., 204 Ga. 276, 277 (3) ( 49 S.E.2d 661); Odom v. Atlanta West Point R. Co., 204 Ga. 328 (1) ( 49 S.E.2d 821); U.S. Cas. Co. v. Georgia Sou. R. Co., 212 Ga. 569 ( 94 S.E.2d 422); Hollinshed v. Shadrick, 212 Ga. 624 ( 94 S.E.2d 705).

While there is a prayer for permanent injunction, the allegations are insufficient to authorize the grant of such relief, and if such a prayer alone determined jurisdiction, litigants could require this court to review every case as being within the jurisdiction of the court as an equity matter by adding such a spurious prayer. Accordingly, the writ of error is

Transferred to the Court of Appeals. All the Justices concur.
