EDWARD VOSE BABCOCK, III, APPELLANT,
VOLKSWAGENWERK AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, APPELLEE
371 So. 2d 1100
Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1979)
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
The order under review is reversed and the cause remanded. Since the alleged negligent acts of the non-resident defendant took place before the effective date of Section 48.193, Florida Statutes (1973), but af ter the effective date of Section 48.182, Florida Statutes (1970), the trial court erred in ruling that Section 48.182 did not apply, as it is the prior long-arm statute which governs service on the defendant. See, AB CTC v. Morejon, 324 So. 2d 625 (Fla.1975); Griffis v. J. C. Penney Company, Inc., 333 So. 2d 503 (Fla. 1st DCA 1976); American Motorists Insurance Company v. Hussain, 363 So. 2d 1175 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978). See also, Genaw v. Volkswagenwerk A.G., 536 F. 2d 1039 (5th Cir. 1976).
Reversed and remanded.
