Florence v. Walton County

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Mar 27, 1992
593 So. 2d 1217 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1992)

Opinion

No. 91-1468.

February 25, 1992. Rehearing Denied March 27, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Walton County; Laura Melvin, Judge.

Bart O. Moore of Moore, Kessler Moore, Niceville, for appellant.

George Ralph Miller, Defuniak Springs, for appellee.


The trial court was correct in finding that the amended complaint for mandamus failed to allege sufficient facts which would demonstrate that exhaustion of administrative remedies would be futile. Skaggs Albertson's Properties v. Michels Belleair Bluff's Pharmacy, Inc., 332 So.2d 113 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1976).

We also note that in cases which involve substantial rights of third parties and factual issues related to those rights (revocation of building permits) that a petition for writ of mandamus may not be an appropriate remedy. See City of Deland v. State, 423 So.2d 529 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982).

Affirmed.

WIGGINTON, BARFIELD and WOLF, JJ., concur.
