Supreme Court of Florida

New England Mutual Life Insurance Company v. Alden Huckins

March 24, 1937127 Fla. 540

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court dismissed the petition for a writ of certiorari, holding that the trial court's directed verdict for the plaintiff was proper because the plaintiff's evidence was sufficient and uncontradicted, and therefore the lower courts' judgment stands. Justice Brown, in a concurring opinion, argued the case should have been submitted to a jury but agreed the judgment should not be quashed.
