LEE v. WADE et al.

FELTON, Chief Judge.

"A prayer in a petition praying for process to issue requiring a defendant to answer at a time other than the time provided by law [Ga. L. 1946, pp. 761, 768; Code Ann. § 81-201] is defective and process issued thereon is subject to a motion to quash whether the process actually issued is in accordance with the law or in accordance with the prayer." McCoy v. Romy Hammes Corporation, 99 Ga. App. 513(1) (109 S.E.2d 807). This defect in the plaintiff's prayer for process was amendable ( Malcom v. Knox, 81 Ga. App. 579, 59 S.E.2d 542), but since the prayer for process was not amended, and since the process itself was amended to conform with the requested invalid term process, the process remained voidable. As this defective process was not waived by the defendants, the trial court did not err in sustaining the defendants' motions to quash the process and dismiss the plaintiff's action.

Judgment affirmed. Bell and Hall, JJ., concur.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 12, 1961.
