Georgia Water Resources, Inc. v. Commissioner of Labor

Beasley, Judge. Appellant seeks to review by direct appeal a superior court order affirming the decision of the Georgia Department of Labor regarding a claim for unemployment compensation. In doing so, it failed to obtain an order from this court granting permission for appeal pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1). This requirement is jurisdictional and mandates dismissal of the appeal.
