Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 27, 1980 · Baskin, Hendry, Pearson, Ret, Tillman
384 So. 2d 228; 1980 Fla. App. LEXIS 23709 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Adell Plastics, Inc. v. Dart Industries, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

BASKIN, Judge.

This is an appeal from a non-final order entered by the Circuit Court of Dade County denying appellant’s motion to dismiss and amended motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction over the person. We find error and reverse.

Appellee having failed to meet its burden of proving facts sufficient to establish in personam jurisdiction over appellant, a foreign corporation, the trial court erred in denying the appellant’s motion to dismiss and amended motion to dismiss. See Harlo Products Corp. v. J. I. Case Company, 360 So.2d 1328 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978) and Hyco Manufacturing Company v. Rotex International Corporation, 355 So.2d 471 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978).

Reversed.
