Recent Florida Appeal Regarding an Injunction
A January 22, 2020 Fourth DCA opinion, Soldatich v. Jones,is a great example of a Florida appeal involving an injunction against exploitation of a vulnerable adult. Here, a caretaker appeals from the circuit court’s final order entering an injunction against her for protection against exploitation of a vulnerable adult.
A year after the caretaker began caring for the vulnerable adult, the family filed a petition for injunction against exploitation of a vulnerable adult per Florida Statute 825.1035.
After the circuit court reviewed the family’s petition per section 825.1035(5), they entered an ex parte temporary injunction against the caretaker. A full hearing was later held. At that hearing, the circuit court orally stated that it was entering a final injunction order without any admissions against the caregiver and without conducting an evidentiary hearing. The order was by agreement. However, the written order contained findings which did not conform with what the court had said orally. Therefore, the appellate court reversed the circuit court’s final injunction order in part and remanded for amendment of the final injunction order.
