117 Fla. 328 | Fla. | 1934
The sole question involved in this case is whether or not a county tax collector who has retired from office without receiving the maximum compensation allowed him under Section 757, R. G. S. of 1920, Section 970, C. G. L. of 1927, as amended by Chapter 15798, Acts of 1931, Laws of Florida, is entitled to commissions on tax certificates issued by him to the State while in office but which were redeemed by his successor after he retired from office.
The court below, by sustaining a demurrer to the declaration, answered this question in the negative. Final judgment was entered in favor of the defendant and this writ of error is from the final judgment.
The question raised here was conclusively settled by this Court in Tyler v. Thomas, et al.,
Reversed.
DAVIS, C. J., and WHITFIELD, BROWN and BUFORD, J. J., concur.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudicated, and decreed that the Motion to modify the judgment entered November 30, 1934, be, and the same is granted in that the cause is reversed with directions to the court below to enter judgment in favor of the plaintiff in error, no interest to be allowed on said judgment.
It is so ordered.
