State of Florida, Ex Rel., Melbourne State Bank, a Corporation, Relator, vs. W. W. Wright, Circuit Judge, Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida granted mandamus, holding that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction to vacate a judgment after the term had ended and therefore must reinstate the original judgment and correct the clerical error. The Court affirmed that mandamus is proper where a lower court acts without authority and no other adequate remedy exists.
