·Lowe v. Broward Cnty., 766 So. 2d 1199 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000).

Cited 25 times | Published | Florida 4th District Court of Appeal | 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 11893, 2000 WL 1345513

...Fleetwood Hotel, Inc., 261 So.2d 801 (Fla.1972), establishes a constitutional principle that is separate from the doctrine of preemption. [5] The only statute Lowe cites which defines "dependent" is section 627.6699(3)(g), Florida Statutes (1999). Lowe also cites to an outdated version of section 121.011 and section 627.5575, Florida Statutes (1999), which do not define dependents, but which identify the classes of persons for whom a group life insurance policy may be extended to insure.
