• 64 Fla. 275

Syllabus

<p>1.. In judicial proceedings to foreclose a mortgage, the decree adjudging the equities and directing a sale of the property on default of payment, is the final decree in the cause. Orders confirming sales made under a foreclosure decree are merely steps taken in the enforcement of the final decree.</p> <p>2. While a final decree may not be vacated after it becomes absolute under the rule, except under special circumstances, yet an order confirming a sale made under a foreclosure de-, cree may be vacated upon appropriate proceedings duly taken.</p> <p>3. Under the circumstances in this case there was no error in vacating an order confirming a sale under a foreclosure decree and requiring the enforcement of the decree by equitable means.</p>
