Quillian, Judge,
concurring specially.
1. I am constrained to agree that a cause of action was set forth because we are bound by that which was held in Sims v. American Cas. Co., 131 Ga. App. 461 (206 SE2d 121). While I would not have come to the same conclusion as that which was held in the Sims case, I feel the only way to retain an orderly system of appellate practice in this court and the Supreme Court is to follow prior decisions whether or not I agree with the rulings held therein. Unless this process is followed neither the trial courts nor the bar can conduct cases with any reasonable certainty as to their final conclusion. This is not to say that I do not feel that any previous case should not be overruled where it was clearly in error. However, the Sims case does not fall in that category.
2. In the case sub judice had the plaintiff made a motion to continue the hearing until the date of the motion to produce was to be answered I would agree that the case should be affirmed. However, in my opinion, the failure to make such motion constituted a waiver.
