Chace v. Loisel
Chace v. Loisel
Case Date: | 01/24/2014 |
Citation: | Chace v. Loisel, 170 So. 3d 802 (Fla. 5th DCA 2014) |
Court Type: | District Court of Appeal |
Court: | Fla. 5th DCA |
Judge: | Judge: Jay P. Cohen |
Issues: | Whether, prior to entry of final judgment, the judge’s Facebook friend request of a party to the case provided grounds to disqualify. |
Resolution: | The Court granted the petition and quashed the order denying the motion to disqualify. Petitioner alleged facts that would cause a reasonable person to fear for the fairness of a trial. Further, in the Court’s eyes, a judge reaching out ex parte to send a “friend” request to a party to the case was far more concerning than a judge “friending” attorneys was was the case inĀ Domville. |
