Atlanta lawyers know that the
issuance of automobile insurance contracts and the protection promised to the
public in those contracts is considered a matter of such strong public interest
that the Gen. Assembly has adopted a detailed statutory scheme governing the
issuance of insurance contracts and the required provisions deemed necessary
for the protection of the insured and the public. Those statutes governing
insurance contracts are codified at OCGA section 33-1-1. The statutory
provisions require that certain provisions be made part of the automobile
insurance contract. To enforce the statutory scheme and to insure that the
insurer and the public receive all the protection granted by statute a
provision containing any contract of insurance issued in this state will be
disregarded by the court if it is at variance with the mandatory statutory
provisions. Payne v. Piedmont life Ins. Co. 120 Ga. App. 630 (1973).
