150 So. 2d 235 | Fla. | 1963
Concurrence Opinion
(concurring specially).
In addition to what is said in the foregoing decision, I think it appropriate to observe that the statute authorizing an appeal from an order granting a new trial
Section 59.04 F.S.1961, F.S.A.
Section 59.07(4), F.S.1961, F.S.A.
Florida Appellate Rules 1962 Revision, Rule 1.4, 31 F.S.A. provides “All statutes not superseded hereby or in conflict herewith shall remain in effect as rules promulgated by the Supreme Court.”
Lead Opinion
Petitioner by writ of certiorari seeks review of a decision of the District Court of Appeal, Second District, which affirmed the lower court’s granting a new trial without specifying the grounds therefor. The facts of the case appear in the District Court’s opinion.
Conflict is alleged with the decisions of other district courts of appeal and with pri- or decisions of this Court to the effect that a new trial order must specify the particular grounds upon which it is granted. We find jurisdiction under Fla.Const., Art. V, § 4(2), F.S.A.
Florida Statute, Section 59.07(4), F.S.A. and Rule 2.6(d),
The decision under review affirmed the order granting a new trial which did not set out the grounds therefor, upon the theory of the exceptions supposedly made in the cases of Kent v. Tallahassee Motor Co., 141 Fla. 789, 193 So. 821 (1940) and Booker v. Saunders Realty Co., 53 So.2d 912 (Fla.1961).
We are of the opinion that the requirement that the trial judge indicate the particular grounds upon which a new trial is ordered is mandatory.'
Petition for writ of certiorari is granted. The judgment of the District Court of Appeal, Second District, is quashed and the cause remanded for entry of an order in accordance with this opinion.
