Babcock v. Whatmoregreen
fla · 1998 · cited in 1 Florida opinions naming this issue, 2004–2004
1 sentence

Whatmore, 707 So.2d 702, 704 (Fla.1998), we held that "a defendant waives a challenge to personal jurisdiction by seeking affirmative relief—such requests are logically inconsistent with an initial defense of lack of jurisdiction." The question here is whether DCF's motion to transfer venue was a request for affirmative relief.
