Scissors v. Seaboard Coast Line Railroad

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided April 8, 1975No. 74-393PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Per curiam

The plaintiff appeals a final judgment pursuant to a j'ury verdict in a negligence case. The only substantial point argued is that the court erred in charging the jury as to a county ordinance. We find no error because a party is entitled to an instruction in accordance with the law if there is evidence in the record which the jury could have believed in forming a basis for the matters instructed upon. See Smith v. Johnson, Fla.App. 1966, 187 So.2d 655.

Affirmed.
