Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 29, 2000 · Gersten, Green, Schwartz
785 So. 2d 523; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 15432; 2000 WL 1745168 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Cespedes v. HBC Florida, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

As the trial court concluded, there was no competent evidence that liability could be imposed on the appellee on the sole asserted basis that it was engaged in a joint enterprise with the active tortfeasor. See Kislak v. Kreedian, 95 So.2d 510 (Fla. 1957); Russell v. Thielen, 82 So.2d 143 (Fla. 1955); Metric Engineering v. Gonzalez, 707 So.2d 354 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998), review denied, 718 So.2d 169 (Fla. 1998); Florida Tomato Packers, Inc. v. Wilson, 296 So.2d 536 (Fla. 3d DCA 1974), cert. denied, 327 So.2d 32 (Fla. 1976). The judgment for the defendant entered on a directed verdict in its favor is therefore

Affirmed.
