1991In Murphy v. Fox, Okl., 278 P.2d 820, 821 (syllabus 2) (1955), the court held the mortgagor may be relieved of the effect of an acceleration clause in a note secured by the mortgage where the "default was not wilful but was due to mistake or inadvertence, and was not injurious to the mortgagee_” (Emphasis added.) The court observed that other jurisdictions have refused to accelerate an obligation when the default of payment was caused by an accident. .

1977In a later case, Murphy v. Fox, 278 P.2d 820, 826 (Okl.1955), the Court said: “This Court has adhered to the principle that in a suit of equitable cognizance to foreclose a real estate mortgage the trial court may refuse foreclosure where there has been a technical default due to a mistake or mere venial inattention and of no damage to the mortgage security or prejudice to the mortgagees.” Foreclosure of a real estate mortgage is an equitable action, and it is within the province of the court exercising its equitable power to see that the party seeking equity shall have dealt fairly before rel

1995In Record v. Record, 816 P.2d 1139, 1142-43 (Okla.1991), we held that an acceleration clause in a divorce decree was invalid because it allowed court-ordered future instahment payments of alimony in lieu of property division to become due and payable prior to their maturity.

1995In Record v. Record, 816 P.2d 1139 (Okla.1992), we expressly held such an acceleration clause invalid on the grounds that an alimony payment may not be enforced until it is due and owing.
