HOUK v. WEINER

Supreme Court of Florida, Division B
Jun 29, 1951
53 So. 2d 304 (Fla. 1951)

Opinion

June 29, 1951.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Charles A. Carroll, J.

Glenn Bludworth, Miami, for appellant.

Nathanson, Oka Spaet, Miami Beach, for appellees.


The plaintiff-appellant brings for our review an order of the court below denying plaintiff's motion for a deficiency decree entered in mortgage foreclosure proceedings below.

The mortgage here foreclosed was a purchase money mortgage, and the property was purchased at the Special Master's Sale by the mortgagee at a price far less than the amount due under the mortgage. The equitable considerations influencing the Chancellor in his denial of a deficiency decree were set forth in his Order, and appear to us to be sufficient as a basis for such denial.

No abuse of discretion having been shown, the order denying a deficiency decree should be and it is hereby

Affirmed.

SEBRING, C.J., and CHAPMAN and ADAMS, JJ., concur.
