William Walker appeals the summary final judgment entered in favor of Winn-Dixie
Stores, Inc. in the personal injury action Mr. Walker filed to recover damages following his slip
and fall on the supermarket’s premises. Pursuant to Owens v. Publix Supermarkets, Inc., 802
So. 2d 315 (Fla. 2001), the benefit of which the trial court lacked when deciding the summary
judgment motion, this court must reverse the judgment and remand the case for trial.
REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings.
GRIFFIN and ORFINGER, R. B., JJ., concur.
