Broward County v. Lesser

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Oct 10, 1995
658 So. 2d 1244 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1995)

Opinion

No. 94-1034.

August 23, 1995. Rehearing Denied October 10, 1995.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Mel Grossman, Judge.

John J. Copelan, Jr., County Atty., Anthony C. Musto and Christine M. Duignan, Asst. County Attys., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

E. Bruce Johnson and Michael R. Piper of Johnson, Anselmo, Murdoch, Burke George, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee City of Sunrise.


Broward County appeals from a summary judgment in favor of its co-defendant, the City of Sunrise. Granting summary judgment in favor of Sunrise, under the facts of this case, was effectively a determination that Broward County owned the roadway. We reverse, finding that the record contains genuine issues of material fact as to whether Broward County or Sunrise owned or controlled the roadway where plaintiff was injured and which governmental entity had the duty to maintain the roadway. See Lukancich v. City of Tampa, 583 So.2d 1070, 1073 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

STONE and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
