• 35 Fla. 73

Syllabus

<p>1. The general rule in equity is that all persons materially inte rested, either legally or beneficially, in the subject-matter of a suit must be made parties either as complainants or defendants, so that a complete decree may be made binding upon all parties.</p> <p>3. The court can not adjudicate directly upon the rights of necessary and indispensable parties without having them actually or constructively before it, and the failure to raise the objection of the absence of such parties by demurrer or answer is not a waiver of the right to make such objection before final decree, or even on appeal.</p>
