Description

Once again we witness the effectiveness -- both substantive and administrative -- of Floridas remarkably helpful certification procedure by which the Florida Supreme Court determines for us the controlling question of Florida law. The question certified to the Florida Court was whether a father who sues under the Florida Statute 768.03 to recover damages for the death of his minor daughter is completely barred from recovery by the contributory negligence of the childs mother, even when the father neither knew nor should have known of the mothers negligent conduct in supervising the child. This question has now been answered in the affirmative, thus the District Courts judgment denying recovery must be affirmed.
