Artigas v. Winn Dixie Stores, Inc.green

2 sentences

2025See Artigas v. Winn Dixie Stores, Inc., 622 So. 2d 1346, 1348 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993) (explaining that “claims for compensation benefits should be determined at a benefits hearing if they are mature”).

1999See, e.g., Artigas v. Winn Dixie Stores, Inc., 622 So.2d 1346, 1348 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993) ("Generally, claims for compensation benefits should be determined at a benefits hearing if they are mature because piecemeal litigation of claims after maturity is not permitted.

Smith v. Stategreen
fladistctapp · 2004 · cited in 2 Florida opinions naming this issue, 2008–2009
2 sentences

2009See Mourra, 884 So.2d at 319 . 7 Yet, despite this observation in Mourra and the Second District’s recognition in Iaconetti that allegations such as “misrepresentations or mistaken advice by counsel concerning the length of the defendant’s sentence” may give rise to a conflict of interest with counsel and entitle the defendant to conflict-free counsel, the Second District concluded in Mourra that the pro se motion to withdraw the plea must contain a specific request to discharge counsel or else be stricken as a nullity.

2008See Mourra, 884 So.2d at 319 ("One of the benefits of rule 3.170( l ) is that it provides the defendant with the right to seek to withdraw a plea at a time when the defendant is still represented by counsel.").

State, Dept. of Transp. v. Smithbiltgreen

2 sentences

2012Curry, 861 So.2d at 1242 (explaining “section 73.092 contains a ‘gap’ by failing to provide a method for calculating attorney’s fees in cases in which the benefits analysis is not applicable and the proceeding is not a supplemental one.”); Smithbilt, 715 So.2d at 966 (stating “the statute contains a gap because it contains no method to establish fees in the event that the condemning authority makes no written offer and the proceeding is not supplemental in nature.”).

2003However, in Smithbilt, this court suggested that subsection (2) “should govern awards of attorneys’ fees in all eminent domain proceedings in which the condemning authority fails to make a written offer to settle the claim or which otherwise cannot be resolved using the benefits analysis in section (1).” 715 So.2d at 966-67 .
