Frist v. Schwarz
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 4, 1988 · Glickstein, Gunther, Walden
524 So. 2d 710; 13 Fla. L. Weekly 1058; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 1750; 1988 WL 40534 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Frist v. Schwarz

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an order determining that the Court has personal jurisdiction over three Tennessee citizens, Thomas Frist, Jr., Nat Winston and Thomas Frist, Sr.

We reverse because the complaint fails to include sufficient factual allegations as a basis for such jurisdiction and because these three defendants lack the requisite minimum contacts with the State of Florida to satisfy due process requirements.

REVERSED.
