Alston v. Rowles
Citations
- 13 Fla. 110
Syllabus
<p>Where an appeal is prosecuted by the “ defendants now living,” omitting individual names, and by a person who purports to be the legal representative of one who was a party to the decree, and such legal representative was never made a party to the proceedings either in the court below or in this court, it must be dismissed. The legal representative in such case is in no condition to prosecute the appeal, and the terms “ defendants now living ” fail to identify with requisite certainty the individuals whose interests are to be affected, should the court act.</p>
