Jones v. General Accident, Fire & Life Assurance Corp.

A prior judgment for the defendant insurer rendered by the Civil Court of Record of Duval County, which was affirmed on appeal by the Circuit Court, was quashed on certiorari because an affirmance of the judgment rendered upon a directed verdict for the defendant on the record as made, was not in accordance with the essential requirements of the law. Jones v. General Accident, etc., Assurance Corp., 103 Fla. 787, 137 So. 889. At a subsequent trial judgment was rendered for the defendant which was affirmed on appeal by the circuit court. This Court granted a writ of certiorari.
