J. D. Sawyer Appellant v. Charles A. Gustason, Appellees

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the circuit court's order vacating a quiet‑title decree entered against non‑resident defendant Gustason. The Court held that service by publication satisfied statutory requirements, that service on an agent was insufficient, that the equity court lacked jurisdiction where the defendant was in possession, and that a motion to vacate was the proper remedy.
