Lance Koster v. Carol Sullivan
Case Number(s):
SC13-159
Transcript:
Summary:
Ms. Sullivan sued Mr. Koster and won default judgment when he did not respond to her
lawsuit. Koster argued he was not legally notified of the case. The trial court ruled the
paperwork submitted by the process server met the requirements of state law. The
Second District Court of Appeal agreed but also certified potential conflict with decisions
by other district courts of appeal. The district court also certified the legal issue as one
of great public importance for this Court’s review.
