Empire Pontiac Center, Inc. v. General Motors Acceptance Corp.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

322 So. 2d 927 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1975)

Opinion

No. 75-1138.

November 21, 1975.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Brevard County, Volie A. Williams, Jr., J.

E. Earle Zehmer and Wayne Hogan Bedell, Bedell, Dittmar, Smith Zehmer, Professional Association, Jacksonville, for appellants.

Howard R. Marsee, Pitts, Eubanks, Ross Rumberger, P.A., Orlando, for appellee.


This is an interlocutory appeal from an order granting a temporary injunction against appellants restraining them from disbursing any of the proceeds from the sale of any of their assets pending the outcome of this litigation in the trial court.

Appellants strenuously contend that appellee was not entitled to a temporary injunction and that they were prepared to adduce proof of their contentions. However, inadequate time was allowed for the hearing so that the trial court was unable to and did not hear any of appellants' witnesses.

Our review of the record presented leads us to conclude that the entry of the temporary injunction was premature.

Accordingly, the order appealed from is reversed and the cause is remanded with directions to allow appellants an opportunity to adduce proof in opposition to appellee's application for temporary injunction.

Reversed and remanded with directions.

WALDEN, C.J., and McCAULEY, JAMES A., Associate Judge, concur.
