JACOBS v. OWENS

36827.

96 Ga. App. 318 (1957)

99 S.E.2d 895

JACOBS v. OWENS.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Decided September 10, 1957.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sidney Parks, Parks & Eisenberg, for plaintiff in error.

Sam F. Lowe, Jr., Smith, Field, Doremus & Ringel, contra.

QUILLIAN, J.

1. The defendant insists that he is not liable because his employee only summoned the police and did not direct, request, or command the police to search the plaintiff. It is true that for a person to be liable for false arrest he must either make, command, request, or direct the arrest, but it is not necessary that he direct it in express terms. Webb v. Prince, 62 Ga.App. 749 (9 S.E.2d 675); Gordon v. Hogan, 114 Ga. 354
