Bradley v. City of Jacksonville
Supreme Court of Florida
Bradley v. City of Jacksonville, 23 So. 2d 626 (Fla. 1945)
156 Fla. 493; 1945 Fla. LEXIS 904
Chapman, Brown, Thomas, Sebring
Bradley v. City of Jacksonville
Concurring Opinion
concurring:
I concur in the conclusion. Of course this plaintiff may well have been able to get a judgment in a tort action against the two policemen, but could not have collected it in all probability.
The doctrine of municipal immunity for torts committed by its employees engaged in governmental functions comes down to us as a part of the common law, which was adopted by the legislature. If that common law doctrine is to be repealed, it would appear to be a legislative function. See 38 Am. Juris, p. 265, 272, 317.
Opinion of the Court
The judgment appealed from is affirmed on authority of Brown v. Town of Eustis, 92 Fla. 931, 110 So. 873; Kennedy v. City of Daytona Beach, 132 Fla. 675, 182 So. 228.
It is so ordered.
