No. 62-111
Before HORTON, CARROLL and HENDRY, JJ.
144 So. 2d 877 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1962) Caution
Cited by 2 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

CARROLL, Judge

(dissenting).

The appellee recovered a judgment based on a jury verdict, for damages for injuries received when she fell on appellant’s business premises.

I, therefore, respectfully dissent.
