B. H. Griffin and Graves J. Smith, as Executors of W. H. Smith, Jennie Smith and E. B. Borden, Jr. v. Societe…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the circuit court's decree denying the plaintiffs' request to reform a lease and to amend their bill. The Court held that the plaintiffs failed to meet the clear and satisfactory evidentiary burden for reformation, did not establish agency of Savary, and that the proposed amendment would materially vary the grounds of relief. Accordingly, the lease remains as written and the bill stands as originally filed.
