Broward County v. Greyhound Rent-A-Car, Inc.
Docket: No. 82-2487
Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; July 6, 1983; Florida; State Appellate Court
An appeal was filed by Broward County regarding an order of taking in a condemnation case. The court noted that the county did not object to multiple issues raised during the trial, including the property owner's attorney's questions and the trial court's interruptions of the county's attorney during witness examination. Additionally, the county failed to object to the property owner's closing argument. Despite these procedural lapses, the court identified a fundamental error: the trial court improperly required Broward County to deposit funds for a property not claimed in the condemnation pleadings. As a result, the appellate court reversed the order and remanded the case with instructions to reduce the deposited amount by $200,000. Judges Beranek and Hurley concurred with this decision.
