Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• trial court may impose additional requirements in contempt decree made necessary by party’s refusal to obey original order
• neither exercise of contempt power nor grant of equitable remedy in a breach of contract case invoked Supreme Court of Georgia’s appellate jurisdiction over equity cases
• since Supreme Court did not have jurisdiction of appeal of judgment granting specific performance, it did not have appellate jurisdiction of appeal in contempt action seeking enforcement of specific performance judgment
• “[D]espite the trial court’s discussion of equitable principles in its second order and its grant of an equitable remedy, this appeal is not an equity case within our appellate jurisdiction. In the interest of judicial economy, however, we will resolve the appeal on its merits.”
