City of Miami v. Rivas

Florida District Courts of Appeal January 13, 1999

City of Miami v. Rivas, 723 So. 2d 393 (1999)

1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 193; 1999 WL 9825

Gersten, Jorgenson, Shevin

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We find no gross abuse of discretion in the trial court’s reinstatement of the appellee’s case against the City of Miami. Florida policy dictates a strong preference that cases be decided on their merits. See Venero v. Balbuena, 652 So.2d 1271 (Fla. 3d DCA *3941995); Cinkat Transp., Inc. v. Maryland Cas. Co., 596 So.2d 746 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992).

Affirmed.
