Laborer Cannot Waive Garnishment Exemption, Georgia Court Rules
Judge J H Lampkin of the superior court ruled that day laborers cannot waive their exemption from garnishment under Georgia law. The decision, reversing a justice court verdict in Colyer v Mills, could affect practices in Atlanta where laborers sign waivers to favor lenders. The case involved Mills, a Southern Railway employee, who borrowed from Colyer and waived garnishment. Judge Lampkin cited public policy and legal authorities to uphold the exemption as invalid to waive. The ruling may be appealed to the state Supreme Court, with observers watching for a potential broad impact.
