2006 Georgia Code - 9-13-104

9-13-104. Whenever a claim is dismissed for insufficiency or is withdrawn, the plaintiff in execution may have a case made up and submitted to the jury charging that the claim was filed for the purpose of delay. Upon proof of the same, defendant and claimant having the same power to resist the case as in claim cases where damages are claimed, the jury, under instructions from the court, may give damages as in cases where the claim is not withdrawn but is submitted for trial to the jury. The cases so submitted shall be tried at the time of the disposal of the claim if the parties are ready, but continuances shall be granted as in other cases.
