American Hardware Mutual Insurance v. Metro Exterminators, Inc.
Docket: No. 98-1715
Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; September 16, 1998; Florida; State Appellate Court
American Hardware Mutual Insurance Company (American) appeals the trial court’s June 4, 1998 Order that granted Metro Exterminators, Inc. (Metro) and Royal Special Risks Insurance Company’s (Royal) Motion for Summary Judgment, as well as a June 19, 1998 Summary Declaratory Judgment that affirmed the findings of the earlier Order. Metro and Royal acknowledge that both the Order and the Summary Declaratory Judgment should be reversed and the case remanded due to the absence of a hearing on the cross motions for Summary Judgment. Consequently, the appellate court reverses the trial court’s June 4, 1998 Order and Summary Declaratory Judgment and remands the case for a hearing on all Summary Judgment motions submitted by the parties.
