Ellard v. Godwingreen2 sentences1977In reversing, the Florida Supreme Court, in quoting from In Re Jeffries' Estate, 136 Fla. 410 , 181 So. 833 (1938), held: "... [A] cause sufficient to authorize an extension of time for filing suit must be a `good cause', by which it is meant that the `adjudication is to be governed by a given standard of judicial action' . .. and not mere `ignorance of law, hardship on petitioner, and reliance on [another's] advice'...."

Maryland Casualty Company v. Krasnekgreen1 sentence2018See Krasnek, 174 So. 2d at 543 (holding that the trial court did not err in granting rescission based on the unilateral mistake defense after finding that some degree of negligence underlay the alleged mistake).11 (iv) Myers I and Myers II 11 Finally, with respect to dicta, I note that the Conclusion section of DePrince I, which summarizes the opinion’s holding as to Starboard’s unilateral mistake of fact defense, makes no mention of the inducement and negligence prongs. | 1 | 1 |
State v. Schoppgreen2 sentences2006However, the mere fact that there is a high probability that a given error will be found harmful does not justify categorizing the error as per se reversible. 653 So.2d at 1021 (emphases added). 2006As if these two paragraphs were not clear enough, we then explained in applying the law to the facts that "because Schopp effectively `won' his case [by persuading the jury to convict on a lesser included offense], there is no reasonable possibility that a change in trial tactics could have benefited him." Id. at 1022 . | 1 | 1 |
Younghans v. Stategreen1 sentence2006"The exercise of a sound judicial discretion in this respect means that `the adjudication is to be governed by a given standard of judicial action,' and such discretion implies `judgment directed by circumspection,' to be exercised in the light of the facts and circumstances of each particular case." Younghans, 90 So.2d at 309-310 (internal citations omitted). | 1 | 1 |
Anderson v. Stategreen2 sentences2004(Emphasis added) Relying on Anderson v. State, 780 So.2d 1012 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001), Sanford contends that the addition of the highlighted portion, which is not a stated element of felony fleeing, but is, instead, spelled out in section 316.1935(1) as an element of a misdemeanor, renders the jury instruction erroneous and that, notwithstanding the defense concurring in the given instruction, giving the instruction constitutes fundamental error. 2004See id. | 1 | 1 |

Pines v. District Court

Lambrix v. State

1 sentence2013In accordance with Lambrix v. State, 39 So.3d 260 , 273 n. 13 (Fla.2010), in which we held that the failure to secure a ruling by the court below on a given claim waives it, Jackson has waived this claim. | 1 | 2013–2013 |
Cumbie v. State
green
1 sentence2006Thus, we recede from Smith, Cumbie [ v. State, 345 So.2d 1061 (Fla.1977)], Wilcox, and their progeny to the extent that they require per se reversal, and we hold that the harmless error analysis set forth above should be applied where a trial court fails to conduct an adequate Richardson inquiry. | 1 | 2006–2006 |
Fidelity & Cas. Ins. Co. of NY v. Taylor
green
1 sentence2005We now agree with the analytical approach of the court in Fidelity & Casualty Insurance Co. of New York v. Taylor, 525 So.2d 908 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987), which explained, in pertinent part: In a "first-party" action against an insurance carrier founded upon section 624.155(1)(b), which affirmatively creates a company duty to its insured to act in good faith in its dealings under the policy, liability is based upon the carrier's conduct in processing and paying a given claim. | 1 | 2005–2005 |
Valentine v. State
green
1 sentence2003When Floyd's counsel was asked about the instruction by the trial judge, counsel not *416 only did not object to the given instruction, counsel affirmatively stated "no objection." In essence, what occurred with this instruction was that the instruction given was not wrong, but as the Fifth District said in Valentine, 774 So.2d at 937 , the instruction was "incomplete in light of Delgado." This means that, at worst, the instruction would be "vague" under the Delgado interpretation of the burglary statute. | 1 | 2003–2003 |
Jackson v. State
green
1 sentence2003It would be vague because it did not state that "remaining in" meant "surreptitiously remaining in." In this regard, it would be similar to what this Court determined concerning the cold, calculated, and premeditated (CCP) instruction in Jackson v. State, 648 So.2d 85 (Fla.1994). | 1 | 2003–2003 |

1 sentence1987It has been held that a legal excuse for extension exists where a claimant ... forgoes the commencement of an independent action under the belief that his objected-to claim will be paid or settled without the need for action, and he reasonably comes to that belief because of representations or actions of the personal representative of the estate or his agent....

2 sentences1979With reference to good cause, the Goldman court held as follows: [A] cause sufficient to authorize an extension of time for filing suit must be a "good cause," by which it is meant that "the adjudication is to be governed by a given standard of judicial action." 79 So.2d at 848 . 1979The court then promulgated the rule which stands today: "[A] substantial reason, one that affords a legal excuse," or a "cause moving the court to its conclusion, not arbitrary or contrary to all the evidence," and not mere "ignorance of law, hardship on petitioner, and reliance on [another's] advice."

1 sentence1969The order extending the time for filing suit may be granted upon petition filed after lapse of the prescribed period.” This record contains competent and substantial evidence, as in Sessions, supra, that the personal representative of this Estate had failed to take any action as a result of being lulled into a false sense of security concerning settlement of these claims and that “good cause” had been shown in this matter. | 1 | 1969–1969 |
