H. C. S. v. Grebel

Hill, Chief Justice,

concurring specially.

In my view, plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law, in juvenile court or otherwise, and hence can proceed in equity. The superior courts have exclusive jurisdiction in equity cases, 1983 Const. Art. VI, Sec. IV, Par. I, and the General Assembly is without power, in the juvenile code or otherwise, to impair the superior courts’ equity juris*407diction where there is no adequate remedy at law. See Jackson v. Balkcom, 210 Ga. 412 (80 SE2d 319) (1954). Hence I would find Lewis v. Bd. of Education, 183 Ga. 687 (1) (189 SE 233) (1936), cited by the majority in footnote 1, to be inapplicable. I therefore concur in the judgment.

I am authorized to state that Justice Weltner joins in this special concurrence.
