Chipley v. Beeler
Chipley v. Beeler
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiff filed a bill in equity in which he sought to have the defendants enjoined from interfering with the flow of water from his higher land over the defendants’ lower land. By answer and cross claim the defendants sought an injunction and damages against the plaintiff. The trial court, after hearing evidence, rendered a decree on July 13, 1968, requiring specified conduct on the part of both the plaintiff and the defendants. Thereafter, on September 16, 1968, the defendants filed a petition seeking to have the plaintiff attached for contempt of court for failure to comply with the prior decree, and after hearing evidence, the trial court rendered a judgment holding the plaintiff in contempt of court. It is from this judgment that the plaintiff appeals and enumerates the same as error alleging that the injunction originally issued was invalid. Held:
The trial court had judisdiction of the parties and subject matter when it issued the original temporary injunction and,
Judgment affirmed.
