Larson-Jackson v. Neal
Larson-Jackson v. Neal
Opinion of the Court
This cause is per curiam affirmed. See § 48.193(l)(h), Fla.Stat. (Supp. 1988). This amended version of the statute was in effect at the time of the trial judge’s ruling. Apparently, the parties did not advise the trial judge of this amendment, which renders his decision correct albeit for the wrong reason. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So.2d 1150 (Fla. 1979).
AFFIRMED.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting.
In'the trial court the appellee relied on provisions of the Florida jurisdictional scheme to secure jurisdiction over appellant that do not appear to apply properly. See Shammay v. Shammay, 491 So.2d 284 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986).
The majority, in affirming, is relying on another provision of the Florida Statutes, not utilized below or addressed in the parties’ briefs. I would not invoke those provisions to affirm without giving the parties an opportunity to brief their application.
