Supreme Court of Florida · Decided March 31, 1927 · PER CURIAM. —
112 So. 61; 93 Fla. 670 (Southern Reporter)

Hawkins v. Shore Acres Properties

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This writ of error was taken to a judgment for the defendant upon demurrer to a declaration alleging a wrongful death caused by the negligence of defendant.

The declaration does not wholly fail to state a cause of action. The demurrer thereto was therefore erroneously sustained.

The judgment is reversed on the authority of Foster v. St. Johns Electric Co., 86 Fla. 338, 98 South. Rep. 75; Peterson v. Daniels Co., 83 Fla. 29, 90 South. Rep. 621; Wertz v. Tampa Electric Co., 78 Fla. 405, 83 South. Rep. 207; McDonald v. Exchange Supply Co., 88 Fla. 80, 101 South. Rep. 28; Yon v. Pinellas Power Co., filed at this term.

Reversed.

*671 Whitfield, P. J., and Terrell and Buford, J. J., concur.

Ellis, C. J., and Strum and Brown, J. J., concur in the opinion.
