Supreme Court of Florida
National Airlines, Inc. v. Edwards
May 12, 1976336 So. 2d 545
Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida held that the trial court properly dismissed the passenger's suit because the alleged damages were too remote to be recoverable and the airline owed no duty to protect her from illness caused by a hijacking. The Court also affirmed its jurisdiction under the Florida Constitution's conflict provision and remanded with instructions to reinstate the dismissal.
