Allen v. Metropolitan Dade County
Citations: 386 So. 2d 301; 1980 Fla. App. LEXIS 17241Docket: No. 80-162
Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; July 29, 1980; Florida; State Appellate Court
Summary judgment for the defendant, Dade County, in a false imprisonment case is reversed for two main reasons. First, the trial court erred by granting summary judgment for the non-moving party during a hearing that was solely noticed for the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, referencing precedents such as Jockey Club, Inc. v. Blake, Greer v. Workman, and John K. Brennan Co. v. Central Bank. Second, there exists a genuine issue of material fact regarding the merits of the case, meaning that the defendant is not entitled to judgment as a matter of law, supported by cases including Holl v. Talcott, Green Valley School, Inc. v. Cowles Florida Broadcasting, Inc., and Kanner v. First National Bank of South Miami.
