695 So. 2d 1323

McClellan v. McClellan

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1997-07-09

Relies on 645 So. 2d 1055 - REWJB Gas Inv. v. LAND O'SUN REALTY · Groff GMC Trucks, Inc. v. Driggers · 655 So. 2d 1146 - NEC Elec., Inc. v. VG Sales Co.

Decided 1997-07-09

PER CURIAM.

¶1We affirm the order enjoining appellant from pursuing those counts of his later filed complaint in West Virginia. The appellee had filed a supplemental complaint and motion for contempt of the parties’ divorce decree, regarding the non-payment of a portion of disability payments allegedly due appellee. The appellant answered and then filed an action against appellee in West Virginia including counts relating to the disability payments.

¶2Upon the appellee’s motion, the court enjoined appellant from prosecuting the West Virginia action on the disability payments. We find no error. REWJB Gas Invs. v. Land O’Sun Realty, Ltd., 645 So.2d 1055 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994); NEC Elecs., Inc. v. VG Sales Co., 655 So.2d 1146, 1148 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995); Groff G.M.C. Trucks, Inc. v. Driggers, 101 So.2d 58 (Fla. 1st DCA 1958).

¶3We do, however, remand for the consideration of a bond. Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.610(b) states: No temporary injunction shall be entered unless a bond is given by the movant in an amount the court deems proper, conditioned for the payment of costs and damages sustained by the adverse party if the adverse party is wrongfully enjoined. See also Groff G.M.C., 101 So.2d at 60.

¶4We do not decide the issue of subject matter jurisdiction raised by appellant because it cannot be determined completely from this record and is subject to further factual development.
