2019After citing a plethora of federal case law for the proposition that application of state fee-shifting statutes, including section 768.79, "conflicts with maritime law and violates the important maritime principle of uniformity," the court concluded that "Florida's offer of judgment statute conflicts with the general rule of federal maritime law that parties pay their own fees absent an exception." Cox, 137 So. 3d at 1160-61 .

2019Thus because the American Rule generally bars an award of attorneys' fees in a maritime case absent one of those exceptions, an award of attorneys' fees pursuant to section 768.79 in such a case "violates the important maritime principle of uniformity." Cox, 137 So. 3d at 1160 .3 Juneau Tanker was based on case law that has since been receded from, and we are now convinced that the underlying premise of Juneau Tanker is no longer good law.

1 sentence

1968Accordingly, until 1953 it might have been argued with some force that the purposeful scope of the statute necessarily excluded the maritime doctrine of "unseaworthiness" and other principles which predicate liability on implied warranty theory or which are founded on expanding concepts of "strict liability." It is obvious, however, that whatever notion may have existed prior to 1953 concerning the limited nature of substantive concepts of liability under the statute [see Whiteley v. Webb's City, Inc. (Fla. 1951), 55 So.2d 730 ] such was clearly expunged by the amendment (Ch. 28280) in 1953 by

1968Under the amendatory clarification as to the intended scope of substantive liability embraced by the statute, this Court has incurred little difficulty in predicating wrongful death recovery on the theory of "implied warranty." See Green v. American Tobacco Co. (Fla. 1963), 154 So.2d 169 .
