64 Fla. 387 | Fla. | 1912
A demurrer to a bill of complaint in
Section 1488, of the General Statutes of 1906, provides that “Either party shall be at liberty to apply to the court for a rule or order for the inspection by himself or by his witness of any real or personal property, the inspection of which may be material to the proper determination of the question in dispute; and the costs of the said rule or order and the proceedings therein shall be in the discretion of the court.”
This statutory remedy is not exclusive of the remedy afforded by a court of equity, and from the allegations of the bill it may well be thaf the remedy at law is inadequate, which is sufficient warrant for appropriate relief in equity. See Thrasher v. Diog, 18 Fla. 809; 14 Cyc. 308, 309; Virginia & A. Min. & Mfg. Co. v. Hale & Co. 93 Ala. 542, 9 South. Rep. 256.
The decree is reversed.
