Without an appellate opinion on point and because of the lack of consensus within the district, the applicability of § 768.72 remains an essential issue for the court to determine today. Cf. Martin v. Honeywell, Inc., 1995 WL 868604 (M.D.Fla. July 18, 1995) (Bucklew, J.) (holding § 768.72 a substantive limitation on punitive damages which federal courts must apply); Marcus v. Carrasquillo, 782 F. Supp. 593, 600-01 (M.D.Fla. 1992) (Kovachevich, J.) (same); Lancer Arabians, Inc. v. Beech Aircraft Corp., 723 F. Supp. 1444, 1446 (M.D.Fla. 1989) (Melton, J.) (same); accord, T.W.M. v. American Medical Sys., Inc., 886 F. Supp. 842 (N.D.Fla. 1995) (Vinson, J.) (same). But see In re Edgewater Sun Spot, Inc., 154 B.R. 338 (Bankr.N.D.Fla. 1993) (reaching opposite conclusion).
