Simon v. Central National Bank of Jacksonville

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff seeks appellate review of a final judgment judicially declaring his status, rights, duties, and liability under a collateral promissory note given by him to defendant and awarding defendant a money judgment on its counterclaim for the balance due on the note after credit for the collateral sold by defendant upon default.

It is appellant’s sole contention that ap-pellee failed to comply strictly with the requirements of that section of our statutes which provides for the sale of collateral securities,1 as a result of which the sale of the collateral was void and did not pass to the purchaser a valid title thereto. From the evidence we find that the controlling statutory requirements were sub*635stantially complied with and appellant has failed to demonstrate that his rights were prejudiced as a result of any material deviation therefrom. We therefore conclude, as did the trial court, that appellant’s contention is without merit. The judgment appealed is accordingly affirmed.
