1. ““ ‘In Robinson et al. v. Howe et al., 35 Fla. 73 , 17 So. 368 , this court held: “ ‘ “The general rule in equity is that all persons materially interested, either legally or beneficially, in the subject-matter of a suit, must be made parties, either as complainants or defendants, so that a complete decree may be made binding upon all parties. “ ‘ “The court cannot adjudicate directly upon the rights of necessary and indispensable parties, without having them actually or constructively before it, and the failure to raise the objection of the absence of such parties by demurrer or answer is not a waiver of the right to make such objection before final decree, or even on appeal.” “ ‘In Rawls v. Tallahassee Hotel Co., 43 Fla. 288 , 31 So. 237 , this court held: “ ‘ “A decree rendered in the absence of an indispensable party will be reversed, and an objection of this character can be urged for the first time in the appellate court, or be considered by the court of its own motion.” “ ‘See, also, Yager v. North & South Alafia River Phosphate Co. et al., 82 Fla. 38 , 89 So. 3407 ””
