Meredith v. Orcutt

214 So. 2d 380

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant seeks review of an adverse final judgment rendered in favor o-f appel-lees. The principal question preserved on appeal is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the judgment.

In our review of the record we have given due consideration to the .applicable appellate principle that a judgment of the trial court reaches the appellate court clothed with a presumption of correctness. Our review of the record compels us to agree with the trial court that there was no evidence of an agreement between the parties not to record the assignment of mortgage in question, and we also hold that such an agreement cannot be implied by the conduct of the parties. It is not the province of this court to substitute its judgment for that of the trier of the facts. These findings will not be disturbed in the absence of a clear showing that the trial court committed error or that the evidence demonstrates that the conclusions reached are erroneous.¹ The judgment appealed is accordingly Affirmed.

CARROLL, DONALD K., Acting C. J., and RAWLS and JOHNSON, JJ., concur.
