Pan American Bank of Dade County, N.A. v. Joseph
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 20, 1989 · Levy, Nesbitt, Schwartz
548 So. 2d 677; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 1494; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 3438; 1989 WL 65859 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Pan American Bank of Dade County, N.A. v. Joseph

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Even assuming the highly dubious proposition that the appellant was in violation of a discovery order below, the trial court grossly abused its discretion in dismissing the action on that basis. See Summit Chase Condominium Ass’n v. Protean Investors, Inc., 421 So.2d 562 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982).

Accordingly, the judgment under review is reversed and the cause remanded for an expeditious trial.

Reversed.
