Almost all "bad checks" are grounds for a civil lawsuit, but only some form the basis for criminal action. The law, as written by the General Assembly and interpreted by the Georgia Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, determines whether this Magistrate Courtcan issue a criminal warrant or citation. The final decision rests with the Court.
