486 So. 2d 30 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1986
We affirm the lower court’s finding that there were insufficiencies in the service of process without reaching the merits of the other issues raised by appellant. The attempted service of process on the defendant, Odissea Shipping Co., was by a Greek attorney who delivered a summons and complaint on a purported agent of the nonresident corporate defendant. Plaintiff Cameron also attempted service of process on defendants, Odissea Shipping Co. and Dido Shipping Co., by delivering a summons and complaint on the manager of
On the record before us, dismissal of the complaint on the basis of the contested jurisdictional issues was premature after the court had determined, correctly, that service was defective.
The order on review, to the extent it quashes service of process, is AFFIBMED; the dismissal of the complaint is REVERSED.
