““Bills of review and original bills in the nature of bills of review are controlled largely by the same general principles. See Andrew v. Hecker, 132 Fla. 759 , 182 So. 251 . Bills of review are required to be filed within the six months’ period allowed by the statute in which to take appeals and may be maintained because of matters discovered after entry of final decree and were not available for presentation to the. court prior to the decree. See Shaw v. Hamm, 133 Fla. 722 , 183 So. 19 . Original bills in the nature of bills of review brought for the purpose of impeaching a final decree are addressed largely to the sound discretion of the court and can be permitted or allowed without leave of the court. It is usually considered as a new suit and its objective is to impeach a final decree obtained by fraud or some other equitable reason. See Miami Bank & Tr. Co. v. Mahlstedt, 107 Fla. 282 , 144 So. 659 ; Hamilton v. Flowers, 134 Fla. 328 , 183 So. 811 ; Gamble v. Gamble Holding Co., 120 Fla. 340 , 162 So. 886 .””
