JUDICIAL DECISIONS   Newspaper photograph was not identification procedure.    - To the extent the defendant's motion for mistrial was based on the state's failure to disclose any identification procedure to the defense before trial, the defendant did not show a violation of the state's reciprocal discovery obligations as a witness's viewing of a photograph in a newspaper was not an identification procedure employed by law enforcement.

GA Code § 18-5-1 (2021)
2021 Georgia Code|Title 18 - Debtor and Creditor|Chapter 5 - Debt Adjustment|§ 18-5-1. Definitions

 As used in this chapter, the term:    "Debt adjusting" means doing business in debt adjustments, budget counseling, debt management, or debt pooling service or holding oneself out, by words of similar import, as providing services to debtors in the management of their debts and contracting with a debtor for a fee to:   Effect the adjustment, compromise, or discharge of any account, note, or other indebtedness of the debtor; or   Receive from the debtor and disburse to his or her creditors any money or other thing of value.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS   Forum selection provision invalid when denying debtor rights.    - Trial court erred in granting a Texas corporation's motion to dismiss a debtors' action alleging that the debt adjustment services a Texas corporation provided them violated Georgia statutes specifically regulating the business of "debt adjusting" as set forth in O.C.G.A. § 18-5-1 et seq. on the ground that the parties' contract contained a provision selecting Texas as the forum for any dispute because, if enforced, the contract's forum selection and choice of law provisions requiring the debtors to bring their action before a Texas court applying Texas law would operate in tandem to deprive the debtors of specific statutory protections set forth in § 18-5-1 et seq., relating to debt adjustment agreements; because that would violate Georgia's public policy established in those provisions, the forum selection and choice of law provisions in the contract were invalid and unenforceable.
