Citation | 108 S.E. 515,152 Ga. 100 |
Parties | SMITH v. PARLIER. |
Court | Georgia Supreme Court |
Syllabus by the Court.
Where a grantor of land enters into a collateral parol agreement with a grantee, to the effect that the latter shall have a private right of way over other lands of the former, the burden of such collateral agreement does not pass to an assignee of such other lands, where such assignee is a purchaser of the land for value and without notice, actual or constructive, of the collateral agreement. Hancock v. Gumm, 151 Ga 667, 107 S.E. 872.
Short v Walton, 61 Ga. 28; Nashville, etc., Ry. Co. v Coats, 133 Ga. 820, 66 S.E. 1085; Johnson v Sams, 136 Ga. 448, 71 S.E. 891; Rodgers v. Stroud, 141 Ga. 559(2), 81 S.E. 873.
"Where in an equitable petition the sole prayer for injunction was that the defendant should be enjoined from maintaining an obstruction across a private right of way, which obstruction consisted in a fence completed before the filing of the petition, it was erroneous to grant an interlocutory injunction mandatory in its character, and amounting to a direction to the defendant to remove the fence." Simmons v. Lindsay, 144 Ga. 845, 88 S.E. 199.
At the hearing of the petition for interlocutory injunction, the sole prayer of which was to enjoin the obstruction of an alleged private way, the judge applying the principles ruled in the first and second notes was authorized, under the pleadings and evidence, to find that the plaintiff did not have any private right of way over the defendant's land. Even if the plaintiff had such right of way, injunction was not an available remedy after the fence had been constructed.
The judge did not err in refusing an interlocutory injunction.
Error from Superior Court, Floyd County; Moses Wright, Judge.
