Moore v. Department of Corrections, State of Florida

27 Fla. L. Weekly D2586 (Fla. 4th DCA December 13, 2002)

In order to have an actionable negligence claim against a government entity, there must be a common law or statutory duty regarding the alleged negligent conduct. In this case, the Fourth District Court of Appeal found that probation supervision is a discretionary government function for which there is no duty of care to individual probationers or corresponding tort liability.
