JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Requirements for land registration is not violative of the constitutional provision which declares that no law or ordinance shall pass which refers to more than one subject matter. Nor would the fact that the penal provision is unconstitutional render the entire Act void. Crowell v. Akin, 152 Ga. 126, 108 S. E. 791, 1921 Ga. LEXIS 20 (1921).

In proving such title as will entitle an applicant to registration and a decree in the applicant’s favor, the same rules of law apply as in suits for the recovery of possession of land by ejectment or statutory complaint for land. Lankford v. Holton, 187 Ga. 94, 200 S. E. 243, 1938 Ga. LEXIS 774 (1938).

Research References & Practice Aids

For note advocating land registration similar to the Torrens system and criticizing the 1952 amendments to The Land Registration Act as well as view that the Act is solely a means to clear title, see 6 Mercer L. Rev. 320 (1955).
