Cosio v. Guerra

Citations

  • 67 Fla. 331
  • 65 So. 5

Syllabus

<p>1. A writing relied on to revive a debt already barred by the statute of limitations should be susceptible to an implication of a willingness to pay at all events or upon a contingency that has happened.</p> <p>2. A letter repudiating the idea that the barred debt is binding as a legal claim will not revive the debt.</p> <p>3. A written declaration that a barred debt will not be paid until other large debts have been paid, and not even then unless it be entirely convenient to the writer, is not such an unconditional acknowledgment or promise to pay, as to revive the debt.</p>

Judges: Cockrell, Hocker, Shackleford, Taylor
