Ga. Code § 13-7-3

Current through 2023-2024 Legislative Session Chapter 709

Section 13-7-3 - Setoff and recoupment distinguished

Recoupment differs from setoff in this respect: Any claim or demand the defendant may have against the plaintiff may be used as a setoff, while only a claim or demand arising out of the same transaction as that sued on by the plaintiff may be used as a recoupment.
