Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

George M. Scheer, Jr., Shoob & McLain, for plaintiff in error.

Fryer, Harp & Turk, Joel J. Fryer, contra.


FRANKUM, Judge.

1. The simplest test of the sufficiency of a petition to withstand a general demurrer is whether the defendant can admit all that is alleged in the petition and escape liability. If he can, of course, the petition fails to state a cause of action; if he cannot escape liability, then the petition does state a cause of action. Harvey v. Zell, 87 Ga.App. 280, 284 (1d) (73 S.E.2d 605
