REFS & ANNOS
TITLE 15 Chapter 11 Article 2 NOTE
JUDICIAL DECISIONS
APPLICATION OF NEW LAW ON APPEAL. --There are no vested rights that would be impaired by applying on appeal the new law of termination of parental rights to a case, even though the old law was in effect at the time of the trial; and, moreover, the retrial of the case under the provisions concerning termination of parental rights might have a salutary effect. In re L.L.B., 256 Ga. 768, 353 S.E.2d 507 (1987).
UPON TRANSFER, ARTICLE'S SUBSTANTIVE AND PROCEDURAL RULES FOLLOWED. --Former O.C.G.A. § 15-11-6(b) (see O.C.G.A. § 15-11-30.1) carefully provides that a referral or transfer for investigation and determination shall proceed in the same manner as though the action originated in the juvenile court. That means the Juvenile Code substantive and procedural rules for determination of parental rights (this article) must be followed, which carefully delineate the grounds for termination; those persons upon whom summons shall issue, including parents, guardians, lawful custodians, and those in physical custody of the child, and other concerns. Hancock v. Coley, 258 Ga. 291, 368 S.E.2d 735 (1988).
