Description
Appeal and Error, Cross-Appeal, Necessity for รข€” Review of Equity Cases on Appeal รข€” Deeds, Warranty Deed รข€” Confidential Relation Between Grantor and Grantee รข€” Evidence, Sufficiency of รข€” Failure of Proof to Support Trial Courts Findings. 1. Appeal and Error รข€” Duty of Supreme Court in equity appeal. Supreme Court, when considering an appeal in an equity case, has duty of reviewing evidence and of determining if such justifies findings, conclusions and judgment of trial court. 2. Appeal and Error รข€” Substantial evidence rule. On appeal in an equity case, where there is little or no conflict in evidence which in itself is unsatisfactory in character and furnishes no substantial basis for findings of trial court, Supreme Court will set findings aside and finally determine rights of parties. 3. Deeds รข€” Evidence insufficient to sustain finding. In action to quiet title by grantees, wherein defendants contended that warranty deed by which grantees claimed property was void, evidence was insufficient to sustain finding that, at time deed was signed, such a confidential relation existed between grantor and grantee as to justify setting aside deed. 4. Appeal and Error รข€” Cause reversed. Where evidence in equity case was insufficient to support judgment for defendants, and no cause appeared justifying new trial or taking of further evidence, Supreme Court had duty to finally determine such case and would order that judgment be reversed and cause remanded with directions to enter judgment in favor of plaintiff.
