Case Summary
Southern Piedmont Law obtained an attorney-fee award against Jionel Pierre, but the trial court allowed Pierre to satisfy the judgment through installments over two years. The Court of Appeals of Georgia vacated that payment-plan provision and remanded. It held that the trial court lacked authority to delay enforcement of an immediately enforceable fee judgment through an installment schedule. The court also disapproved prior language to the extent it could be read to authorize such a payment plan.
