L.L.T. Building Supplies, Inc. v. Martinique Homes, Inc.

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided April 11, 1990No. 89-01109Published

1Opinion of the Court

PATTERSON, Judge.

L.L.T. Building Supplies, Inc. appeals from a final judgment transferring its maerialman’s lien from one set of lots to another. The trial court exercised its equitable jurisdiction this way in an attempt to rectify an unusual situation wherein an innocent party, Martinique Homes, Inc., found its property burdened with the lien. Although such a transfer appears to fall within the broad equitable powers of the circuit court, we hold that in this instance it was improper because Martinique had an adequate remedy at law.
