Golden v. Golden
Opinion of the Court
Appellee, as the party moving for a summary judgment in the trial court, did not demonstrate conclusively that there were no disputed issues of fact or law; therefore, summary judgment was inappropriate. Holl v. Talcott, 191 So.2d 40 (Fla. 1966).

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
