District Court of Appeal of Florida

Petition for certiorari review of orders requiring disclosure of the names of persons contributing to plaintiffs' lawsuit against a municipality challenging a certain development order is granted since the orders departed from the essential requirements of law because disclosure was not relevant to an issue in question and would have had a chilling effect on the litigation without adequate remedy at law.
