  • 1920 Fla. LEXIS 499

Syllabus

<p>1. In a case where a contract containing mutual covenants is not enforceable as against one of the.parties by reason of some disability, yet such party performs all the obligations on his part to be performed, the objection of lack of mutuality does not lie.</p> <p>2. A married woman by reason of her coverture may not make a valid contract of co-partnership, yet she may invest her money or labor in a mercantile business and acquire an interest therein.</p> <p>3. The exercise of equity jurisdiction for the specific performance of contracts for the purchase of property does not proceed upon any distinction between real estate and personal estate, but depends on the question whether damages at law may not in the particular case afford a complete remedy.</p>
