Alberto Clausell v. Hobart Corporation

We review Clausell v. Hobart Corp., 506 So.2d 1160 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987), to answer three certified questions of great public
importance. Art V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. The certified questions are as follows: I. WHETHER THE LEGISLATIVE AMENDMENT OF SECTION 95.031(2), FLORIDA STATUTES (1983), ABOLISHING THE STATUTE OF REPOSE IN PRODUCT
LIABILITY ACTIONS, SHOULD BE CONSTRUED TO OPERATE RETROSPECTIVELY AS TO A CAUSE OF ACTION WHICH ACCRUED BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE
DATE OF THE AMENDMENT?
