Faulk v. Palm Beach Gardens Comm

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Dec 4, 1991
589 So. 2d 1029 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 91-0253.

December 4, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Palm Beach County, Mary E. Lupo, J.

Randy D. Ellison and Larry Klein, Klein Walsh, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Mary E. Hammel, Bacen Kaplan, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee Palm Beach Gardens Community Hosp., Inc.


The final judgment on appeal here imposed liability on appellant wife for hospital services rendered to the husband. The sole basis for imposing liability was that a wife is legally responsible for necessaries furnished to the husband. This is incorrect, and we reverse on the authority of Heinemann v. John F. Kennedy Memorial Hosp., 585 So.2d 1162 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

DOWNEY, HERSEY and DELL, JJ., concur.
