Kayfetz v. Best Roofing, Inc.
27 Fla. L. Weekly D1792 (Fla. 3rd DCA August 16, 2002)
The Third District Court of Appeal held that the trial court erred by allowing the Defendant's expert to instruct the jury as to how the rules set out in a building code applied to the facts of the case. The court opined that the testimony of the Defendant's expert led the jury to incorrectly conclude the Plaintiff's responsibilities under the building code excused the Defendant of its responsibilities under tort law.
