Case Summary
Deerlake Homeowners Association obtained a default judgment and a statutory lien against Craig Brown’s property after alleging violations of the community’s recorded covenants. The trial court denied injunctive relief, awarded money damages and attorney fees, and found that the Association could enforce its lien. The Court of Appeals of Georgia affirmed the default judgment and denial of injunctive relief but vacated the attorney-fee and cost award. It remanded for the trial court to clarify that its order operated as a foreclosure under the governing statute and to make the required findings supporting any fee award.
