Supreme Court of Florida

George E. Pace v. Augustus Raiford Pace

June 15, 188219 Fla. 438

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the lower court's judgment overruling the demurrer, holding that the bond requirement for a next friend of an infant applies only to common law actions, the bankruptcy assignee is not a necessary party, the guardian's sureties are proper but not required parties, the life‑insurance proceeds belong to the infant child and not the administrator, and the suit may be brought by the infant without naming the Governor.
