Slatcoff v. Dezen

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the lower court's judgment dissolving the writ of garnishment, holding that Florida Statute §222.14 exempts the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies from attachment because the policies were not effected for the creditor's benefit, that the exemption applies regardless of where the policies were issued, and that the statute does not violate the Florida Constitution's guarantee of a remedy for every injury.
