District Court of Appeal of Florida


Richard E. Basha, P.A. v. Dorelien, 4D05-2612

Summary judgment for defendants in an attorney's action to recover fees and costs incurred in representing one of the defendants is reversed where the motion was facially insufficient, genuine issues of material fact existed, and the court improperly based its decision on an issue not raised in the motion -- imposition of a Haitian cultural interpretation on words employed in an e-mail.
