Davison v. Schwartz Farms, Inc.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 7, 1975 · Alan, Hobson, McNulty, Schwartz
309 So. 2d 610; 1975 Fla. App. LEXIS 14445 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Davison v. Schwartz Farms, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

McNULTY, Chief Judge.

Plaintiffs-appellants appeal from an adverse summary judgment in this negligence action. We reverse.

Appellants’ car collided with a bull owned by defendants-appellees which had found its way onto the public highway. The issue herein is whether the bull was properly fenced under the “Warren Act.” 1 A careful review of the pleadings herein together with depositions on file persuades us that all the facts and inferences viewed in a light most favorable to plaintiffs-appellants preclude a determination that as a matter of law they cannot recover herein. In view whereof we think defendants-ap-pellees have failed to demonstrate the non-existence of a genuine issue of material fact and that the entry of summary judgment was improper.

Accordingly, the summary judgment entered herein should be, and the same is hereby, reversed; and the cause is remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent herewith.

HOBSON, J., and SCHWARTZ, ALAN R., Associate Judge, concur.

. Chapter 588, F.S.1971.
