Baya v. Revitz
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided July 31, 1973 · Haverfield, Hendry, Pearson
281 So. 2d 521; 1973 Fla. App. LEXIS 7701 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Baya v. Revitz

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The appellants’ point urges that a judgment for partition must be reversed because a cotenant may not seek partition where there is an outstanding lease giving the present right of possession. The trial judge correctly determined that the outstanding lease was not a bar. See Leonard v. Browne, Fla.App.1961, 134 So.2d 872.

Appellee contends that a stipulation in the record of this case was a stipulation of settlement and that therefore the appellants cannot appeal the consent judgment. We agree. Our examination of the record convinces us that the stipulation was a settlement.

Affirmed.
