Browning-Ferris Industries Chemical Services, Inc. v. Kargauer
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Browning-Ferris Industries Chemical Services, Inc. v. Kargauer, 707 So. 2d 427 (1998)
1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 3191; 1998 WL 145086
Cope, Fletcher, Gersten
Browning-Ferris Industries Chemical Services, Inc. v. Kargauer
Opinion of the Court
Browning-Ferris Industries Chemical Services, Inc., [Browning] appeals the trial court’s order denying its motion to transfer this cause from Dade County to Broward County. Although the motion is best described as “bare bones,” it does demonstrate that the cause should be transferred to Bro-ward County pursuant to section 47.122, Florida Statutes (1996). As we find that it was an abuse of discretion by the trial court not to order the transfer, see Burger King Corp. v. Koeppel, 564 So.2d 209 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990), the order appealed is reversed, and the cause remanded with instructions to grant Browning’s motion to transfer venue to Broward County.
Reversed and remanded with instructions.
