Connecticut General Development Corp. v. Guson

477 So. 2d 665, 10 Fla. L. Weekly 2442, 1985 Fla. App. LEXIS 16520

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The appellants, having originally filed an answer which was stricken with leave to file an amended answer, were entitled to service of a copy of plaintiffs’ motion for default and notice of hearing on that motion.¹ As appellants were not served with the motion for default nor given notice of the hearing thereon before entry of the order entering default, appellants were entitled to have the order entering default set aside and vacated. Therefore, the trial court erred in denying appellants’ motion to set aside the order entering a default.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

ORFINGER, SHARP and COWART, JJ., concur.
