WILLIAMS v. CHRYSLER MOTORS CORP.

No. 72-438.

270 So.2d 403 (1972)

Burton W. WILLIAMS, Jr., Appellant, v. CHRYSLER MOTORS CORP., a Michigan Corporation, and Monroe Zeder Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Rehearing Denied January 9, 1973.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Burton W. Williams, Jr., in pro per.

Mershon, Sawyer, Johnston, Dunwody & Cole, Miami, Turner, Hendrick, Fascell, Guilford, Goldstein & McDonald, Coral Gables, and William J. Dunaj, Miami, for appellees.

Before PEARSON and HENDRY, JJ., and SPECTOR, SAMUEL, Associate Judge.


PER CURIAM.

The plaintiff recovered a judgment for compensatory damages. On this appeal, he urges that the court erred in directing a verdict upon his claim for punitive damages. We hold that no error has been demonstrated because appellant's case did not meet the requirements for punitive damages as set forth in Winn & Lovett Grocery Co. v. Archer, 126 Fla. 308, 171 So. 214 (1936).
