Supreme Court of Florida

The City of Key West, in Error v. Catherine Baldwin, in Error

February 9, 191569 Fla. 136

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the City of Key West retained a duty to exercise reasonable diligence in repairing sidewalk defects, that the evidence of an abrupt four‑to‑five‑inch depression was sufficient to establish negligence, and that the trial court’s rulings on jury instructions, evidentiary objections, and the admissibility of mortality tables were not reversible errors.
