Synopsis

This case involves a procedural history where the Florida District Court of Appeal initially reversed a trial court judgment, but the Florida Supreme Court quashed that reversal, directing the appellate court to affirm the trial court's judgment. Consequently, the appellate court vacated its prior decision and affirmed the trial court's judgment.


Holding

The District Court of Appeal held that its prior judgment reversing the trial court's decision was incorrect and that the trial court's judgment should be affirmed, as directed by the Florida Supreme Court.
