Abner Wynn Gordon v. The John Deere Company
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided November 16, 1971No. 71-1824PublishedCited by 20 opinions
1Per curiam
This appeal presents the question of whether Florida Statute, Section 48.182, F.S.A., permitting service of process on non-residents committing a wrongful act outside Florida which causes injury within the State can be applied to wrongful acts which occurred before its enactment. There being no precedent of the Florida Supreme Court on this issue, we deem it better to ask the Florida Supreme Court to provide us with the answer to this question rather than guessing at what their answer might be. 1
