Richard Delisle, Petitioner v. Crane Co., Respondents. — Pariente, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Pariente concurred in the judgment remanding for reinstatement of the final judgment and agreed that the 2013 amendment adopting the Daubert standard intruded on the Florida Supreme Court's rulemaking authority. She additionally reasoned that the amendment could significantly impair civil litigants' constitutional access to courts by increasing costs, expanding expert challenges, and permitting excessive judicial interference with the jury's factfinding role. Chief Justice Canady, dissenting, would have dismissed the case for lack of conflict jurisdiction, while Justice Labarga, concurring, defended the Court's jurisdiction to resolve the conflict between the Daubert and Frye standards.
