Pearl Bauld v. J. A. Jones Construction Company

In this personal injury action by Pearl Bauld against J. A. Jones Construction Company and numerous other defendants, brought in the Circuit Court for Pinellas County, recovery was sought on the grounds of negligence, breach of warranty, and strict liability. The defendant construction company moved for a summary judgment on the ground that the applicable statute of limitations barred the action. The court granted the motion, entering a final summary judgment of non-liability in defendants favor. The plaintiff challenged the limitations statute on constitutional grounds, and the trial court held against her. We have jurisdiction of her appeal pursuant to Article V, Section 3(b) (1), Florida Constitution.
