Malone F. Pitts, et al. v. Villas of Frangista Owners' Association, Inc., et al.

The question presented is whether the trial court erred in dismissing this lawsuit based upon a pending lawsuit in another state. Because the out-of-state lawsuit is not an exercise of quasi in rem jurisdiction, we conclude that the trial court erred in applying the doctrine of prior suit pending. We, therefore, reverse the trial court’s decision.
