Date published: Aug 8, 1990

564 So. 2d 649 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

Nos. 89-1718, 89-2027.

August 8, 1990.

Consolidated appeals from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Patricia W. Cocalis and George A. Shahood, Judges.

Charles W. Rice of Stansell and Rice, Miami, for appellants-Fred G. Beckmann, III and Fred G. Beckmann, Jr.

William J. Motyczka and Matthew H. Richardson of the Law Offices of William J. Motyczka, Miami, for appellees-Burdette-Beckmann, Inc. and R.T. Taylor.

PER CURIAM.

In case no. 89-1718 we reverse the trial court's order changing venue to Dade County on the authority of Mabie v. Garden Street Management Corp., 397 So.2d 920 (Fla. 1981). From this record, service was first perfected in the Broward County action. The exception appellees wish to make to Mabie regarding the conduct of the parties or their attorneys in securing service even if arguable, is not supported by facts in the record as opposed to mere allegations.

We affirm the order in case no. 89-2027.

DELL, GUNTHER and WARNER, JJ., concur.
