680 So. 2d 460 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1996
This cause is before us on appeal from the dismissal of Appellants’ second amended complaint with prejudice. We affirm the dismissal of the contract counts (counts I — III) as barred by the statute of frauds.
However, the counts alleging defamation (count IV) and intentional interference with a contractual relationship (count V) should not have been dismissed. Ethan Allen, Inc. v. Georgetown Manor, Inc., 647 So.2d 812, 814
We therefore affirm the dismissal of the contract counts (counts I — III), but reverse the dismissal of the defamation and intentional interference counts (counts IV and V), and remand for further proceedings.
AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART; AND REMANDED FOR FURTHER PROCEEDINGS.
