Court | Florida Supreme Court |
Rehearing Denied Jan. 7, 1937.
Error to Circuit Court, Washington County; D. J. Jones, Judge.
Action by Rebecca Lee against the Sovereign Camp of the Woodmen of the World. To review an adverse judgment, defendant brings error.
Affirmed.
James N. Daniel, of Chipley, for plaintiff in error.
John H Carter and John H. Carter, Jr., both of Marianna, for defendant in error.

In reversing the judgment we held that the surrejoinder tendered during the progress of the trial presented matter sufficient in law to constitute a good reply to defendant's rejoinder to plaintiff's replication to defendant's first plea and that it should be permitted to be filed in order to promote the administration of justice through a fair trial of the real issues in case. Edwards v. Knight, 104 Fla. 16, 139 So. 582, 143 So. 441.
The case was reversed for further proceedings and the surrejoinder was filed. It is as follows:
The plaintiff filed rebutters to the surrejoinder, one of which was a joinder of issue and the other was as follows:
'That the defendant furnished forms for proofs of death for the purpose of enabling plaintiff to make proof of the death of the said Henry Lee if she desired to do so; that the said forms had printed upon their face these words:
Issue was joined on the rebutter and the case went to trial. The question raised by the pleadings was whether or not the defendant was estopped from asserting the termination and invalidity of certificate or policy of insurance sued on.
