Before FERGUSON, COPE and GODERICH, JJ.
600 So. 2d 1252 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1992) Positive Treatment
Cited by 8 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Summary judgment was appropriate in this slip-and-fall case where the plaintiff failed to present evidence that the store owner had actual or constructive notice of the substance, or that the substance was on the floor as a result of the actions of store employees or agents, or that while the owner did not actually create the specific condition which caused the fall, the method of operation was so inherently dangerous that the store owner, may still be held liable. Schaap v. Publix Supermarkets, Inc., 579 So. 2d 831 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991); Publix Supermarkets, Inc. v. Schmidt, 509 So. 2d 977 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987).

Affirmed.
