Stringer v. Dortch, Et Ux.

136 Fla. 567 | Fla. | 1939

The bill of complaint herein was dismissed on motion for want of equity for an accounting between appellant and appellee, J.E. Dortch, who had been partners in a bakery business. Complainant appealed. It would serve no useful purpose to quote or discuss at length the allegations, but it will suffice to state that laches to bar relief as between the parties does not clearly appear by the bill, and that the bill of complaint does not wholly fail to state an equity for appropriate relief upon essential proofs under issues made.

Decree dismissing bill of complaint for want of equity is reversed and the cause remanded for appropriate proceedings. *568

Reversed and remanded.
