Opinion
Nos. 87-2365, 87-2784.
June 7, 1988. Rehearing Denied July 13, 1988.
Appeals from a non-final order from the Circuit Court for Dade County; John Gale, Judge.
Fowler, White, Burnett, Hurley, Banick Strickroot and Curtis Carlson and Lloyd R. Schwed, Miami, for appellant.
Richard N. Friedman, Miami, for appellee.
Before BARKDULL, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.
By this non-final appeal we are called upon to review the propriety of an order denying a motion to vacate a default. We find that the trial court failed to apply the principles announced in Carter, Hawley, Hale Stores v. Whitman, 516 So.2d 83 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987), and therefore reverse the order under review with directions to vacate the default entered on liability.
We note that this decision was rendered after the date of the order under review.
Reversed and remanded with directions.
