Supreme Court of Florida

Cottages, Miami Beach v. Wegman

October 5, 19511951 Fla. LEXIS 1039

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the decree ordering the transfer of corporate shares and other relief to the daughter, finding that her oral agreement with her father to receive a one‑half interest in real property was enforceable through specific performance because part performance—possession and payment—removed the agreement from the Statute of Frauds. The Court held that the decree was valid despite the lack of a written contract and that the partnership theory was unnecessary.
