The Travis Co. v. Peacock Holding Co., Inc.
Supreme Court of Florida · Decided June 15, 1938 · Whitfield, Terrell, Brown, Chapman, Buford
182 So. 213; 132 Fla. 811; 1938 Fla. LEXIS 1831 (Southern Reporter)

The Travis Co. v. Peacock Holding Co., Inc.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The above cause having been submitted upon the transcript of record and the briefs and argument of counsel, the Court, having duly considered the questions involved, is of the opinion that there is no reversible error in the record, and the final decree appealed from is affirmed.

Whitfield, Terrell, Brown, and Chapman, J. J., concur. Buford, J., dissents.

Dissenting Opinion

Buford, J.

(dissenting).—I think the decree appealed from should be reversed. The tax deed conveyed a valid but defeasible title. Outstanding tax sale certificates and delinquent tax levies not redeemed or discharged at the time the tax deed was issued remained a lien against the property. See Allison Realty Co. v, Graves Investment Co., 115 Fla. 48, 155 So. 745.
