Description

Appellees Linn owned a lot in Miami. At the time of the transaction here involved the Linns resided in Tokyo, Japan. They executed to appellee Sammartino, a resident of New York, a power of attorney authorizing her to enter into the contract which is the subject of this suit. Through their agent, Mrs. Sammartino, the Linns engaged the services of Strasser to construct a three-unit apartment house on their Dade County lot. Alleging money to be due him as damages resulting from alleged breaches of this construction contract, Strasser sued in the Circuit Court of Dade County. Mrs. Sammartino being in New York and the Linns being in Japan, Strasser undertook to obtain service on the three defendants by service of process on the Secretary of State under Section 47.16 and Section 47.30, Florida Statutes. The defendants appeared specially and by a motion to dismiss contested the jurisdiction of the court. The motion was granted and the complaint was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction of the parties. Reversal of this order is now sought.
