quoted rule in Florida

2018In fact, the burden of proof cannot be the same because such a requirement would render the unilateral mistake of fact defense completely obsolete by requiring a party seeking to avoid a contract on that basis to prove fraudulent inducement, which is itself sufficient to render a contract voidable by the aggrieved party. 5 Id. at 592 n.6 (emphasis added).

2013The Court further stated that “the quoted principle originated in a district court of appeal decision applying the substantial, competent evidence standard that was issued prior to this Court’s rejection of that standard in Cloud.” Id. (discussing Cloud, 110 So.2d 669 ).

1998In Pope v. Shalala, 998 F.2d 473 (7th Cir.1993), the court explained that a rule clarifying an unsettled or confusing area of the law can be applied retroactively because it merely "restates what the law according to the agency is and has always been." The court quoted from the analysis by the United States Supreme Court in Manhattan General Equipment Co. v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service, 297 U.S. 129, 135 , 56 S.Ct. 397, 400 , 80 L.Ed. 528 (1936).

1990Young v. Johnson, 538 So.2d 1387 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989); Pinzl v. LaPointe, 426 So.2d 65 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983); Outlaw v. McMichael, supra. We also do not find merit in the seller’s argument that a clause limiting the time for filing the soil report limited remedies for breach of the purchase and sales agreement. 1 Therefore, for the reasons stated the matter is returned to the trial court for further proceedings not inconsistent herewith.

1986That interpretation is supported by Morgano v. State, 439 So.2d 924 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983).

1985Since the Legislature saw fit to incorporate subsections (3) and (4) in Section 232.02, both sub-sections must be given effect in accordance with the above quoted rule of statutory construction [that the effect must be given to each subpart of a statute as well as to the statute as a whole]. 407 So.2d at 990 .

1984Applying the quoted rule and test, we are unable to conclude that the statements in the published article constitute pure expression of opinion, rather than mixed expression of opinion and fact, any more than the statements involved in Madsen v. Buie, supra .

1981We hold that the clause underlined in the above quoted rule, which appears to empower the Commission with unbridled discretion, must be given a narrow interpretation in order to be in harmony with the principle articulated in Florida Growers Coop Transport, supra .

1980The Florida case cited to us on this question is Stewart v. Stearns & Culver Lumber Co., 56 Fla. 570 , 48 So. 19 (1908).

In these cases requiring a greater burden of proof such as reformation of contract cases, the burden required has been described as "clear, convincing and satisfactory evidence not alone by a preponderance of the evidence," "evidence to show conclusively that a mistake had been made and to satisfy the court of such mistake beyond a reasonable doubt," Bell Corporation v. Bahama Bar & Restaurant, Inc., 74 So.2d 292 (Fla. 1954); Fidelity Phenix Fire Insurance Co. of Ne

1974(See Chapman v. State, Fla.App. 1st 1974, 300 So.2d 749 .) Counsel for appellant states in his brief that appellant may have remedies in the Federal courts.

1974Therein, the Third District Court of Appeal in discussing the necessary burden of proof in reformation of insurance contracts cited Old Colony Insurance Co. v. Trapani, supra. In Old Colony , the court set out as the appropriate burden of proof in such cases the above quoted test enunciated by this Court in Fidelity Phenix Fire Insurance Co. of New York v. Hilliard, supra. It is well established that generally in civil cases a "preponderance of the evidence" — "or the greater weight of the evidence" — satisfies the burden of proof.

1971The mentioned rule is well expressed by the writer of the annotation in 9 A.L.R.3rd at page 434, as follows: “Where an informer called the defendant, consented to the overhearing or recordation of the call, and the call was overheard or recorded at the informer’s end of the line, without the knowledge of the defendant, it has been held that regardless of the type of device used to transmit the call to the eavesdropper or recorder, there has been no prohibited ‘interception.’ ” Cited in support of this quoted rule are the decisions of this court in Griffith v. State, 111 So.2d 282 (Fla.App. 195

1970In his certificate to this court the said judge states that during the trial of this civil action for assault and battery, seeking both compensatory and punitive damages, he gave the following charge, on the authority of Miami Transit Co. v. Yellen, 156 Fla. 351 , 22 So.2d 787 (1945): “I charge you that provocation is not a bar to a civil action of assault and battery but in a case where the jury finds that the defendant is liable to the plaintiff for damages provocation may be considered by the jury in mitigation of plaintiff’s damages.” The judge further states in his certificate that the ca
