1. ““There are cases where the mere existence of a remedy at law would not preclude an action for rescission and cancellation, but this is not that kind of a case. The relief sought by plaintiffs is a money judgment and that fact clearly appears from the prayer quoted above. Willis v. Fowler, 102 Fla. 35 , 136 So. 358 , was a case that made a much stronger showing for rescission and cancellation than that which appears in this record. There we held that the remedy at law was complete and adequate and denied relief in the equity proceedings. On the basis of that decision the lower court was not in error in dismissing the complaint. Also see Buzard v. Houston, 119 U.S. 347 , 7 S.Ct. 249 , 30 L.Ed. 451 ; Greenfield Villages, Inc. v. Thompson, Fla., 44 So.2d 679 , and cases there cited.””
