Siegal v. Van Riper

Supreme Court of Florida, en Banc
Dec 6, 1950
48 So. 2d 735 (Fla. 1950)

Opinion

November 17, 1950. Rehearing Denied December 6, 1950.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, William A. Herin, J.

Smathers, Thompson, Maxwell Dyer and Knight, Smith, Underwood Cullen, all of Miami, for appellants.

Nichols, Gaither Green, Miami, for appellees.


The only material question presented on this appeal is whether or not the charge of the trial court to the jury was adequate to properly present the issues involved. This court has held many times that, if the charge taken in its entirety, properly states the law of the case, it is sufficient. See Bassett v. Edwards, 158 Fla. 848, 37 So.2d 374; Wirt v. Fraser, 158 Fla. 777, 30 So.2d 174. We have examined the charges and find that within their four corners the issues were adequately presented and the error, if any, is harmless.

The other assignments of error have been considered and we find them without merit. Our former judgment of reversal is receded from, the opinion is withdrawn and judgment affirmed on rehearing.

Affirmed.

ADAMS, C.J., and TERRELL, CHAPMAN, THOMAS, HOBSON and ROBERTS, JJ., concur.

SEBRING, J., not participating because of illness.
