PAPASTRATI v. PAPASAKELARIOU (2018)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Jorge Valvis PAPASTRATI, Appellant, v. Kiriaki PAPASAKELARIOU, Appellee.

No. 3D16–2921

Decided: April 25, 2018

Before SUAREZ, FERNANDEZ and LUCK, JJ.

Kevin Coyle Colbert, for appellant. Nancy A. Hass (Hollywood), for appellee.

We affirm without further discussion and write only to point out the perilous journey undertaken by counsel when they ask the trial court to interpret an order of a foreign jurisdiction without providing the court a proper foundation for interpretation of that order. The trial court was asked to interpret the order of an Aruban appellate court without the benefit of the law of Aruba that rightfully would control that interpretation. Without knowing what is required by the law in Aruba in relation to the appellate court decision, we cannot properly review the trial court's interpretation.

Affirmed.

PER CURIAM.
