Morgan v. Campbell et al.
27 Fla. L. Weekly D1148 (Fla. 2nd DCA May 24, 2002)
The dismissal of an action is an acceptable sanction where a plaintiff gives blatantly false answers in a deposition and independent medical examination. The fact that a plaintiff disclosed the name of her doctor and admitted to some treatment did not make the sanction unreasonable. The concurring opinion expressed concern that plaintiffs should be authorized to obtain orders defaulting defendants for similar conduct if plaintiff conduct is going to result in dismissal.
