# O.C.G.A. § 9-12-64. Revival on motion after service of scire facias; when defendant entitled to jury trial.

In all cases of scire facias to revive a judgment, when service has been perfected, the judgment may be revived on motion at the first term without the intervention of a jury unless the person against whom judgment was entered files an issuable defense under oath, in which case the defendant in judgment shall be entitled to a trial by jury as in other cases.
