Thompson v. Otis Elevator Company

Circuit Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit

38 F.2d 1020 (5th Cir. 1930)

Opinion

No. 5763.

March 15, 1930.

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Florida; Wm. B. Sheppard and Lake Jones, Judges.

Daniel MacDougald, of Atlanta, Ga., John C. Cooper, Jr., of Jacksonville, Fla., and Chas. J. Morrow, of Tampa, Fla. (Spalding, MacDougald Sibley, of Atlanta, Ga., and Knight, Adair, Cooper Osborne, of Jacksonville, Fla., on the brief), for appellants.

Martin H. Long, of Jacksonville, Fla., and James P. Carey, Jr., of Chicago, Ill. (Edwin W. Sims and Sims, Godman Stransky, all of Chicago, Ill., on the brief), for appellee.

Before BRYAN and FOSTER, Circuit Judges, and SIBLEY, District Judge.



This appeal complains of an order authorizing the Otis Elevator Company to remove from the Floridan Hotel at Tampa, Fla., elevators which it had installed therein under a title retention contract, unless the balance of the purchase price with interest be paid within thirty days.

On a former appeal, all the questions now involved were presented and decided except the single one whether the elevators could be removed without substantial damage to the building. Wheat v. Otis Elevator Co. (C.C.A.) 23 F.2d 152. It has now been found as a fact by the District Judge on uncontroverted evidence that no substantial injury to the building will result from the removal of the elevators.

The order appealed from is therefore affirmed.
