First Natl. Bk. of Lake City v. Landress
Supreme Court of Florida
Decided August 7, 1931PublishedCited by 3 opinions
1Per curiam
— -In this case there was a verdict for the defendant and thereupon a judgment was entered in favor of defendant for costs only.
In Hall vs. Patterson, 45 Fla. 353, 33 Sou. 982, it was held:
“A judgment for costs alone, the merits not being adjudicated, though entered for defendant after the jury have found a verdict in his favor, is not such final judgment as will support a writ of error.”
See also C. W. Zaring & Co. vs. Humphreys, 68 Fla. 6, 65 Sou. 665; American Soda Fountain Company vs. Plaza Marina, Inc., filed at this term of the Court.
The writ of error should be dismissed and it is so…
