v.
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION EXISTING UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, AND R. WM. L. JOHNSON, CLERK OF MIAMI BEACH, APPELLEES

Fla. 3d DCA | 1963-05-21
No. 63-119
Before PEARSON, TILLMAN, C. J., and CARROLL and HENDRY, JJ.
154 So. 2d 720 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1963) Positive Treatment
Cited by 1 case


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Counsel for appellants having filed in this cause motion to review order denying supersedeas and to grant supersedeas pending appeal, and the court having considered same after hearing oral argument of counsel thereon, it is ordered by a majority of the court (CARROLL, J., dissenting) that said motion is hereby denied.

CARROLL, Judge

(dissenting).

The order appealed from dissolved an injunction of several years standing, which restrained the City of Miami Beach from interfering with the operation of the appellant’s store. Dissolution of the injunction followed disclosure and finding by the court that undesirable sales persons were active in the business. The present license is a 45-day “going out of business” license, issued by the City of Miami Beach.

Since the reason for closing the business was the participation therein of certain known persons, it would appear that the interests of the City and the public could be adequately protected, pending the appeal, by the chancellor ordering a supersedeas bond for a substantial amount, such as for $20,000 or more, with adequate protective conditions. For example, the bond could include a condition that the persons whose presence in the business is found to be harmful to the public should not enter or be upon the premises or otherwise take part in the business. Violation of such a condition, if it occurred, should not be difficult of detection and would create liability on the bond and prompt an order vacating the supersedeas. I therefore respectfully dissent.
