THE CITY OF KEY WEST, A FLORIDA MUNICIPALITY, AND PAUL CATES, DEPUTY BUILDING INSPECTOR FOR THE CITY OF KEY WEST, APPELLANTS,
v.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA EX REL. E.E.S. ENTERPRISES, INC., A FLORIDA CORPORATION, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Bal Harbour Village v. State ex rel. Giblin, 299 So. 2d 611 (Fla. 3d DCA 1974), cert. denied, 311 So. 2d 670 (Fla.1975).
SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge
(specially concurring).
I concur in affirmance because the city tendered no disputed or justiciable issue of fact and the trial court correctly concluded, in applying the charter and code provisions in question, that the relator-appellee was entitled to the issuance of its building permit as a matter of law. I think it therefore unnecessary and, beyond that, highly inadvisable to rely upon the Bal Harbour Village decision cited by the court. Bal Harb-our Village perpetuates an archaic rule of pleading, applicable, for some unknown reason, only to mandamus proceedings, which I believe should not be permitted to survive in this supposedly enlightened age.

Finally, the public interest supports the relief requested by the Estate. We agree with the Estate that there is a strong public interest in marshalling the assets of a decedent’s estate. This is evidenced by such cases as Perez v. Lopez, 454 So. 2d 777, 778 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), in which this Court approved the power of the probate court, pending estate administration, to grant injunctions as to assets in which the decedent may have had an interest and as to which the value could be ascertained, inc…
