Matt Conigliaro reports this decision as "a must-read for those interested in Florida law on spoliation. In the case, the Fourth District rejected an argument that two of its prior cases relied upon a common law duty to preserve evidence in mere anticipation of litigation." Importantly, this decision does not stop at the state court border ... pointing out that a federal court in Silhan v. Allstate Ins. Co., 236 F. Supp. 2d 1303, 1313 (N.D. Fla. 2002). also misinterpreted the FL appellate court's prior rulings on the preservation duty.
