Scissors v. Seaboard Coast Line Railroad
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 8, 1975 · Haverfield, Hendry, Pearson
311 So. 2d 708; 1975 Fla. App. LEXIS 15071 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Scissors v. Seaboard Coast Line Railroad

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The plaintiff appeals a final judgment pursuant to a j'ury verdict in a negligence case. The only substantial point argued is that the court erred in charging the jury as to a county ordinance. We find no error because a party is entitled to an instruction in accordance with the law if there is evidence in the record which the jury could have believed in forming a basis for the matters instructed upon. See Smith v. Johnson, Fla.App. 1966, 187 So.2d 655.

Affirmed.
