Travelers Insurance Co. v. Conley

PETERSON, Judge.

The Travelers Insurance Company (“Travelers”) appeals an order denying a petition for a temporary injunction and dismissing the cause for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The trial court’s order denying the motion cited 29 Fla.Jur.2d, Injunctions, § 44 for the principle that a court has no jurisdiction to enjoin the commission of crime. Travelers filed an emergency motion with this court to direct the trial court to issue the temporary injunction pending resolution of this appeal. We granted it citing Drake v. Henson, 448 So.2d 1205 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984).
