Outcome
The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal reversed the federal district court's decision that barred National Union's garnishment proceeding under Florida's statute of limitations, holding that garnishment is not an 'action on a judgment' subject to the five-year limitations period. However, the Burshans' state court damages action against National Union for the garnishment was dismissed by the circuit court.
