Supreme Court of Florida
Companioni v. City of Tampa, SC09-1800
In plaintiff's suit against a city for sustaining injuries in an automobile accident, the second district court of appeal's reversal of the trial court's denial of defendant's motion for a new trial is quashed and remanded as, when a party objects to instances of attorney misconduct during trial, and the objection is sustained, the party must also timely move for a mistrial in order to preserve the issue for a trial court's review of a motion for a new trial.
