District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Jun 2, 1988
524 So. 2d 710 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1988)

Opinion

No. 87-1918.

May 4, 1988. Rehearing Denied June 2, 1988.

Appeal of a non-final order from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Constance R. Nutaro, Judge.

James J. Kenny and Paul M. Bunge of Kenny Nachwalter Seymour, P.A., Miami, for appellants.

James F. Gilbride and Scott A. Silver of Gilbride, Heller Brown, P.A., Miami, for appellees.


This is an appeal from an order determining that the Court has personal jurisdiction over three Tennessee citizens, Thomas Frist, Jr., Nat Winston and Thomas Frist, Sr.

We reverse because the complaint fails to include sufficient factual allegations as a basis for such jurisdiction and because these three defendants lack the requisite minimum contacts with the State of Florida to satisfy due process requirements.

REVERSED.
