Re: Motion for facts and findings
Unless one side or the other requested findings of fact and conclusions of law BEFORE the ruling, the court is not required to make them under Georgia law. If the party moves after the ruling for the court to make or amend its findings, it is within the court's discretion to do so and is not mandatory.
