Dixie Auto Transport Co. v. Louttit

Florida District Courts of Appeal November 1, 1991

Dixie Auto Transport Co. v. Louttit, 588 So. 2d 68 (1991)

1991 Fla. App. LEXIS 11106; 1991 WL 224567

Hall, Patterson, Ryder

Opinion of the Court

HALL, Judge.

The appellants contend the trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of the appellee on the basis of collateral estoppel. The appellants argue the defensive use of collateral estoppel is inappropriate where there is no mutuality of parties. We disagree and affirm based on Zeidwig v. Ward, 548 So.2d 209 (Fla. 1989), and Verhagen v. Arroyo, 552 So.2d 1162 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989).

RYDER, A.C.J., and PATTERSON, J., concur.
