KATHY ANEMONE, ET AL., APPELLANTS,
v.
CONCORDE CAREERS FLORIDA, INC., APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1995-01-04
No. 94-248
WOLF, WEBSTER and MICKLE, JJ., concur.
657 So. 2d 900 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1995) Positive Treatment
Cited by 8 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We have on review a final order of dismissal against 68 of 69 plaintiffs on the ground of misjoinder of parties.

While the trial court has wide discretion to control the docket in order to ensure economic and judicial efficiency (for instance, grouping or severing claims for trial or discovery purposes), we find that dismissal was not appropriate. See rule 1.250(a), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure; Alanco v. Bystrom, 544 So. 2d 217 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989), rev. denied, 553 So. 2d 1164 (Fla.1989).

The order of dismissal is, therefore, reversed.

WOLF, WEBSTER and MICKLE, JJ., concur.

In Gemmill, the defendant was carrying a concealed weapon on his waist in a securely encased zippered pack, inside an automobile. , We recognized that “section 790.25 specifically provides that the securely encased exceptio…
