Public Realty Company, Inc., v. Cooper

Supreme Court of Florida. Division A
Mar 2, 1945
21 So. 2d 142 (Fla. 1945)

Opinion

March 2, 1945

An appeal from the Circit Court for Dade County, Marshall C. Wiseheart, Judge.

Thomas H. Anderson, for appellant.

J. Julien Southerland, for appellee.


This appeal is from a final decree dismissing a bill of complaint praying for specific performance of a contract to convey real estate. It appears that appellee listed the real estate with one P.L. Watson who later secured a purchaser. The point in the controversy is whether or not the owner ratified such an agreement made by Watson as she can now be required to comply with. We have carefully examined the record and the briefs and we think this question must be answered in the negative. The listing was not such as to relieve the owner of further dominion over the land and we do not find that such ratification as she is alleged to have made amounted to this.

Affirmed.

CHAPMAN, C. J., TERRELL, BUFORD and ADAMS, concur.
