Rush v. Joyner
Docket: No. 88-0093
Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; April 5, 1989; Florida; State Appellate Court
The trial court's ruling to apply Florida law in this case is affirmed. Both parties submitted cross-motions for summary judgment regarding the choice of law, agreeing that no material issues of fact existed and that the applicable law was either Georgia or Florida. During the hearing, the appellant's counsel indicated that only these two states' laws were relevant. The appellate court reviewed the record and determined that the trial court correctly applied the legal test from *Bishop v. Florida Specialty Paint Co.*, concluding that Florida law was appropriate based on the undisputed facts. The decision is supported by precedent from *State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Olsen*. Judges Anstead, Gunther, and Warner concur with the ruling.
