Cox v. Roberti

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
Feb 19, 1963
149 So. 2d 879 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1963)

Opinion

No. 62-294.

February 19, 1963.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Lucien C. Proby, Jr., Judge.

James H. Nance and Kenneth L. Ryskamp, Miami, for appellant.

Carey, Goodman, Terry, Dwyer Austin, Miami, for appellee.

Before PEARSON, TILLMAN, C.J., and HORTON and HENDRY, JJ.


The counterplaintiff appeals a summary final judgment for the counterdefendant on the counterclaim. The sole point presented is that the court should not have granted the summary final judgment because there was a possibility that the facts might develop an application of the doctrine of last clear chance which, if developed, would have relieved the counterplaintiff of the onus of his contributory negligence which appeared as a matter of law. An examination of the record before the trial judge reveals no basis for the possible application of the doctrine.

Affirmed.
