Morton v. Morton

Morton v. Morton
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 8, 1985 · Baskin, Ferguson, Genson, Jor
476 So. 2d 749; 10 Fla. L. Weekly 2347; 1985 Fla. App. LEXIS 16199 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Morton v. Morton

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the trial court’s order which set aside findings of fact and conclusions of law made by the general master after a hearing on the wife’s motion for contempt. The trial court’s stated basis, an alleged “inconsistency on the face of the report,” is manifestly erroneous. It was error, therefore, for the trial court to have rejected the master’s report and his recommended disposition. See Ben-Hain v. Tacher, 418 So.2d 1107 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982).

Reversed and remanded.
