Supreme Court of Florida

In a dispute over an agreement to construct a commercial retail and office building, the Fourth District court's holding that failure to establish justifiable reliance is a bar to recovery based on fraudulent misrepresentation is quashed, as the district court failed to properly apply the tipsy coachman principle, and the matter is remanded for the trial court to reconsider whether plaintiff is entitled to relief based on his claims for fraudulent misrepresentation and negligent misrepresentation.
