Fourth DCA Reverses Denial of Motion to Dismiss

On certiorari review in City of Stuart, Florida v. Monds (4D08-4740) the Fourth DCA reversed the trial courts denial of a motion to dismiss. The court stated: "At issue are counts IV–VI, causes of action for tortious interference with an advantageous business relationship—the Mondses’ employment—and an action for negligent violation of Florida Statute section 448.045 (Wrongful combinations against workers). Petitioners argue that the doctrine of absolute immunity bars the individual claims against them. We agree."
