HENRY SCHUITEMA, RESPONDENT

Fla. | 1967-01-06
No. 35260
THORNAL, C. J., THOMAS, CALDWELL and ERVIN, JJ., and PARKER, Circuit Judge, concur.
193 So. 2d 435 Florida Supreme Court (1967) Caution
Cited by 10 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The petition for writ of certiorari, having shown jurisdictional conflict, seeks review of the decision of the District Court of Appeal, Fourth District, reported at 183 So.2d 571.

The rule of the District Court of Appeal, Third District, in Liberty Mutual Insurance Company v. Imperial Casualty and Indemnity Co., 168 So.2d 688, collides directly with the decision here reviewed and poses our problem of resolving the conflict.

It is our conclusion that Judge Smith, in his penetrating analysis of the policy and persuasive authorities, has reached the preferable conclusion.

The writ is discharged.

THORNAL, C. J., THOMAS, CALDWELL and ERVIN, JJ., and PARKER, Circuit Judge, concur.
