TERRY v. INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA et al.

Opinion:
Quillian, Presiding Judge.
This is an appeal from a judgment of the superior court affirming an award of the State Board of Workmen's Compensation. Held:
1. The appellant contends it was error for a deposition which was taken for the purpose of discovery to be admitted as evidence. This contention is without merit. Code Ann. § 114-706 (Ga. L. 1945, p. 462; 1956, pp. 725, 726; 1969, p. 205; 1973, pp. 232,242; 1974, pp. 1143,1154) provides that "within the discretion of the presiding deputy director," (now administrative law judge), a deposition taken for the purpose of discovery may be admitted in evidence.
2. The evidence was sufficient to support the award.
3. The remaining enumerations of error are without merit.
