2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. SCHNEDLER v. LEE · SCHNEDLER v. LEE“Final disposition of the controversy cannot be effected by the appellate court if it determines that the order sustaining defendant’s ‘demurrer’ to plaintiff’s evidence in equity is in fact against the clear weight of the evidence. In that event, the party-defendant must be afforded opportunity to present its evidence. (Emphasis added.)”
