Hines Truck Stop, Inc. v. Cape Fear Motor Lines, Inc.

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided October 23, 1970No. 70-144Published

1Per curiam

Appellant, Hines Truck Stop, Inc., appeals a summary final judgment entered in favor of the appellee, Great Dane Trailers, Inc., in an action of replevin to recover possession of a trailer. We reverse.

We do so because we find disputed issues of critical fact as to the validity of Great Dane Trailers’ Inc., retained title contract against the trailer in question.
