Supreme Court of Florida

Christopher Sanchez v. Miami-Dade County

December 19, 2019286 So. 3d 191

Summary

The Court dismissed the petition for review without reaching the merits of the negligent-security claim. It concluded that duty and sovereign immunity are conceptually distinct, making the asserted conflict regarding whether a duty defeats immunity no longer live, and held that Sanchez could not present a new theory of liability for the first time in the Supreme Court. There were no separate opinions.
