GLOVER v. MADDOX

37319.

98 Ga. App. 548 (1958)

106 S.E.2d 288

GLOVER v. MADDOX et al.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Decided November 5, 1958.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bobby Lee Cook, A. Cecil Palmour, for plaintiff in error.

Fullbright & Duffey, Clower & Anderson, E. J. Clower, contra.


QUILLIAN, Judge.

1. The defendant's general demurrer is directed only against the second count of the petition which undertakes to set up the plaintiffs' right to recover quantum meruit. "Lawyers jointly undertaking to represent a client without a contract as to the division of fees share equally." 5 Am. Jur. 386, § 207. This is generally recognized and followed in most jurisdictions. We think it prevails in Georgia and must be applied in the instant case.
