Laborer Cannot Waive Garnishment Exemption Ruling
Judge J H Lampkin in Fulton County Superior Court issued a decision reversing a justice court verdict in Peter Mills vs Charles Colyer. The ruling holds day laborers cannot waive their exemption from garnishment, aligning with Georgia law and public policy. The case involves Mills, a Southern Railway employee, who borrowed money and signed a waiver of garnishment, later contested as invalid. The decision may be appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court, with Mills represented by Walter McElreath and Colyer by E Puarrington.
