Cited by 11 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

This appeal from a non-final order denying a motion to quash service of process is appropriately filed under Rule 9.130(a)(3)(C)(i), Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure.

We reverse, holding that service of process on a secretary in the office of the business manager of a labor union is insufficient to permit the court to obtain jurisdiction over the union. § 48.141, Fla.Stat. (1983). See also § 447.11, Fla.Stat. (1983). Semble: Hauser v. Schiff, 341 So. 2d 531 (Fla.3d DCA 1977).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

ANSTEAD, C.J., and HERSEY and WALDEN, JJ., concur.
