O.C.G.A. 9-12-42 (2010)
9-12-42. Judgment no bar absent decision on merits


Where the merits were not and could not have been in question, a former recovery on purely technical grounds shall not be a bar to a subsequent action brought so as to avoid the objection fatal to the first. For a former judgment to be a bar to subsequent action, the merits of the case must have been adjudicated.
