PIER PAVILION, INC., A FLORIDA CORPORATION, APPELLANT,
v.
FLORENCE HENSLEY, APPELLEE
The appellant, defendant below, appeals from an order granting the appellee-plain-tiff a new trial. A directed verdict had been given for the defendant but, subsequent thereto, the court decided he had erred in granting a directed verdict and granted a new trial on the theory that it was a jury question as to whether or not the defendant provided the plaintiff with sufficient safeguards for her protection when she fell from a diving platform at defendant’s swimming pool on Clearwater Beach. A previous summary judgment had been denied the defendant.
We conclude that there was no error in the court granting a new trial below.
Affirmed.
SHANNON, C. J., and ALLEN and SMITH, JJ., concur.

Davis v. Ebsco Industries, Inc., 150 So. 2d 460 (Fla. 3d DCA 1963) and C & D Farms, Inc. v. Cerniglia, 189 So. 2d 384 (Fla. 3d DCA 1966), are inapposite since they deal with covenants-not-to-compete, and do not help us understand the strength of the very different policies underlying the usury la…1 / 2
