City of Ocala v. Adams
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 10, 1969 · Her, Johnson, Rawls, Spector
223 So. 2d 386; 1969 Fla. App. LEXIS 5677 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

City of Ocala v. Adams

Opinion of the Court

HER CURIAM.

In this appeal from a judgment based upon a jury verdict, the factual situation was decided by the jury adverse to *387the appellant and there appears sufficient competent evidence to support the same, so that as an appellate court we will not retry the issue of facts. The question of when the alleged negligence occurred, whether at the time of construction of the street or sidewalk or afterwards, becomes immaterial if the defect did in fact exist, as found by the jury. The court’s instruction on contributory negligence was standard and not erroneous. The judgment appealed from is therefore affirmed.

RAWLS, Acting Chief Judge, JOHNSON and SPECTOR, JJ., concur.
