The Florida Supreme Court considered an application for an injunction pending appeal. The court granted the injunction on the condition that the appellant pay all costs and a significant portion of the judgment amount by specific deadlines.
Yes, the court granted the injunction, but conditioned it upon the appellant immediately paying all assessable costs and expenses related to the levy and sale, and subsequently paying a specific sum towards attorney's fees and court costs to the judgment creditor.
“Upon application of appellant for a constitutional writ under Section 5 of Article V of the Constitution in the nature of an injunction in this Court in aid of and pending an appeal from an order denying injunctive relief in the court below seeking to restrain the Sheriff of Polk County, Florida, from selling on May 7th, 1934, certain property levied upon and advertised for sale under an execution issued against the appellant, due notice of said application having been given appellees' who have appeared in resistance of the motion, it is ordered that upon the express condition that appellant shall immediately pay all legally assessable costs and expenses incurred in and about the making of said levy and the advertising of said sale sought [*801] to be enjoined, computed up to the date of sale, and will thereafter on or before June 4, 1934, well and truly pay to the Sheriff of Polk County, Florida, for the benefit of appellee A. G. Willard, to be credited on his judgment, and execution pro tanto and paid over to the judgment creditor pending this appeal, the sum of $1,179.00 attorney’s fees and all accrued court costs that have been duly taxed in the common-law suit of A. G. Willard v. Rt. Rev. Patrick Barry, Bishop of the Diocese of St. Augustine, in which suit appellee, A. G. Willard’s judgment was rendered as aforesaid, then the relief moved for on this' application will stand granted as prayed, an appropriate writ to that effect to be issued by the Clerk of this Court.”
