COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, SECOND DISTRICT, February 15, 2008, Opinion Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: As a contract for sale of real estate was ambiguous and did not clearly show that parties intended buyer to pay special assessment on the real estate, trial court erred in awarding seller the buyer's deposit as liquidated damages for its failure to close. As there was no meeting of the minds on an essential term, there was no enforceable contract.

Flores v. State, Case No. 5D07-1512,
COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, FIFTH DISTRICT, February 15, 2008, Opinion Filed

|
Overview: Where destruction of a car was subject of both arson and evidence tampering charges, defendant's acquittal of arson count did not render his conviction of evidence tampering inconsistent, as arson (§ 806.01, Fla. Stat.) required damage by fire or explosion, but evidence tampering (§ 918.13, Fla. Stat.) could be established by other means.

Murphy v. YMCA of Lake Wales, Inc., Case No. 2D07-1324,
COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, SECOND DISTRICT, February 15, 2008, Opinion Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: Waiver stating that a health club was not liable for "any claims based on negligence," but which also suggested that the club would take "every reasonable precaution" against accidents, was confusing. Therefore, it did not clearly and unequivocally release the club from liability and was not enforceable against a member in her negligence suit.

|
Overview: As tax collector had record owners correct address, under Jones v. Flowers, clerk's failure to make further efforts to provide notice of a tax deed sale to the record owner after certified letters sent to it were returned unclaimed, other than publishing notice in a paper, violated record owner's due process rights and rendered tax sale invalid.
