Steinberg v. Charles T. Becker, P.A., Case No. 5D04-1685, COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, FIFTH DISTRICT, February 24, 2006, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Certiorari was an original proceeding, not an appeal, and thus an insurance company's filing of a petition for writ of certiorari in a district court did not constitute an "appeal" for purposes of an attorney-client contingency fee agreement. There was no error in allowing the lawyer to revoke a previously offered discount to the client.

Tyson v. State, Case No. 5D05-1599, COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, FIFTH DISTRICT, February 24, 2006, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because a police deputy could not say that defendant replied affirmatively when asked if he could be searched, in the absence of any other evidence indicating defendant consented to be searched, the State only proved that defendant acquiesced to the deputy's authority; consequently, defendant's motion to suppress should have been granted.
