Texas Gulf Sulphur Company v. Downtown Inv. Co.

Supreme Court of Florida
Apr 7, 1967
196 So. 2d 436 (Fla. 1967)

Opinion

No. 35561.

March 15, 1967. Rehearing Denied April 7, 1967.

Writ of Certiorari to the District Court of Appeal, First District.

Chester Bedell, of Bedell, Bedell, Dittmar Smith, Jacksonville, and White Case, New York City, for petitioner.

Delbridge L. Gibbs, of Marks, Gray, Yates, Conroy Gibbs, Jacksonville, for respondent.


We issued a writ of certiorari because of an apparent conflict between the decision of the District Court of Appeal, 188 So.2d 19 in the instant case and decisions of other District Courts of Appeal on the same point of law. After a careful study of the record in light of the briefs and oral argument, we have concluded that the writ was improvidently issued and must, therefore, be discharged on jurisdictional grounds.

It is so ordered.

THORNAL, C.J., and DREW, CALDWELL and ERVIN, JJ., concur.

THOMAS, J., dissents.
