Narrative Opinion Summary
Affirmation of the trial court's judgment is upheld. The appellate court, without a record of the trial proceedings, cannot adequately address the factual issues necessary to determine the validity of the trial court's decision. Consequently, it is impossible to ascertain whether the trial judge misapplied the law. The Florida Supreme Court has emphasized caution in appellate reviews of injunctive relief orders that depend on factual determinations and the trial court's discretion, particularly when such orders are based on live testimony or other evidence suited for evaluation by the trial court.
