App. LEXIS 2662 (1984) (decided under former O.C.G.A. § 18-4-113). 18-4-43 Nonemployer garnishee not discharged from general garnishment liability. — Purpose of former O.C.G.A. § 18-4-117 was to ensure that only employers will be subject to continuing garnishment and that nonemployer garnishees will be automatically discharged with regard to the continuing aspect of the action; however, that section did not purport to discharge a nonemployer garnishee from such general garnishment liability as existed at the time the original answer was filed.
