Miami Jewish Home and Hospital Inc. v. Miami-Dade County

Summary

The Third District Court of Appeal of Florida denied Miami Jewish Home and Hospital Inc.'s petition for writ of certiorari seeking review of a circuit court appellate decision. The court cited the requirement that certiorari relief is limited to violations of clearly established principles of law resulting in a miscarriage of justice and cannot be used as a second appeal to correct mere legal error.

Holdings

1. The petition for writ of certiorari was denied because certiorari cannot be used as a second appeal to correct mere legal error; relief requires a violation of a clearly established principle of law resulting in a miscarriage of justice.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the circuit court appellate decision departed from a clearly established principle of law in a manner resulting in a miscarriage of justice and therefore warranted certiorari relief.
