Dettman v. Reid

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
May 30, 1979
370 So. 2d 420 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1979)

Opinion

No. 77-1876.

April 25, 1979. Rehearing Denied May 30, 1979.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Broward County; James J. Minnet, Judge.

Nancy Little Hoffman and Law Offices of Weaver Weaver, Fort Lauderdale, for appellants.

Robert Orseck, Miami, on the brief and Walter H. Beckham, Jr., Miami, at oral argument of Podhurst, Orseck Parks, P.A., Miami, and Wilton L. Strickland of Ferrero, Middlebrooks Strickland, Fort Lauderdale, and Susan Goldman, Miami, for appellees.


Appellant suggests several errors occurred at the trial level, the primary one being the error of granting a new trial. We affirm the trial court on that ground because the appellant has not shown a clear abuse of the trial judge's discretion in this matter. Weems v. Dawson, 352 So.2d 1196 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977). As to the other alleged errors we decline comment which comment would only be speculative and advisory in nature and effect and serve only to unnecessarily confuse or restrict the ordered new trial. Should error be committed later we can then deal with it.

AFFIRMED.

ANSTEAD, DAUKSCH and MOORE, JJ., concur.
