United States Eleventh Circuit

Evidence does not show that attorneys acted in bad faith by relying on representations of a foreign lawyer regarding veracity of claims in connection with a plane crash in Ecuador. A sanctions award under 28 U.S.C. section 1927 and Fla. Stat. section 57.105 is reversed.
