After eminent domain proceeding in which settlement was reached with regard to amount owed to landowner by city, purported assignee of promissory note and mortgage, on which landowner had owed money at time of settlement, moved to direct state chief financial officer to return funds to court. The Circuit Court denied motion. Purported assignee appealed.
The District Court of Appeal held that trial court did not have personal jurisdiction over chief financial officer and thus could not direct officer to return funds to court’s registry.
