Mazer v. Jefferson Stores, Inc.
412 So. 2d 945; 1982 Fla. App. LEXIS 19863
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Mazer v. Jefferson Stores, Inc.
Opinion of the Court
The trial court has the inherent power to impose the sanction of dismissal for a plaintiff’s willful failure to comply with its order, the lawfulness of which was challenged only by plaintiff’s adamant refusal to answer certain questions on deposition. See Surrency v. Winn & Lovett Grocery Company, 160 Fla. 294, 34 So.2d 564 (1948); Warriner v. Ferraro, 177 So.2d 723 (Fla. 3d DCA 1965).
Affirmed.
