The Florida Supreme Court modified a Circuit Judge's supersedeas order to specify the terms and conditions of the supersedeas bond that appellants must file to stay execution of a decree pending appeal. The Court clarified the bond amount, obligees, conditions, and scope of liability.
The Court held that appellants must file a supersedeas bond in the sum of Twenty-one Thousand Dollars with the named obligees, conditioned to pay all decreed sums with legal interest and costs, subject to the limitation that the bond shall not indemnify the obligees against losses from United States Government sequestration or appropriation of funds absent a claim by the United States.
