Maqueira v. AlmasMaqueira v. Almas

District Court of Appeal of Florida
Feb 2, 1982
81-648
Versions:409 So. 2d 199

PER CURIAM.

Reversed. Striking of pleadings and entry of default judgment and final judgment is too severe a sanction for failure to file a pre-trial catalogue in a non-jury trial where there is no further showing that failure by a Key West attorney to comply with the standard pre-trial order was willful or with flagrant disregard for court‘s authority. See, e.g., Catogas v. Sapp, 397 So.2d 1182 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981); Beaver Crane Service, Inc., v. National Surety Corp., 373 So.2d 88 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979); cf. Watson v. Peskoe, 407 So.2d 954, (Fla. 3d DCA 1981).
