ORDER-CONSOLIDATION

The above cases are hereby consolidated, on the Court's own motion, for all appellate purposes. The filing of a notice to invoke discretionary jurisdiction and a notice of appeal will be processed as a notice to invoke discretionary jurisdiction. A combined brief on jurisdiction must be filed. No briefs on the merits will be accepted by the Court until jurisdiction is determined. Appellants/Petitioners filed an initial brief on jurisdiction with appendix on September 2, 2008, as to American Optical Corporation, et al. v. Walter R. Spiewak, et al., Case No. SC08-1640; however, said brief was not filed as a combined brief on jurisdiction with American Optical Corporation, et al. v. Walter R. Spiewak, et al., Case No. SC08-1616, and is hereby stricken. Appellants/Petitioners are allowed to and including [15 days from date of order], in which to serve an original and five copies of amended combined initial brief on jurisdiction with appendix as to the above referenced cases. Appellees/Respondents shall have twenty days after service of the initial brief on jurisdiction in which to serve an answer brief on jurisdiction. ***SEE SC08-1616 TO VIEW ORDER*** (09/11/2008, ORDER AMENDED TO STRIKE APPELLANTS/PETITIONERS' JURIS BRIEF AND DIRECT THE FILING OF AN AMENDED COMBINED JURIS BRIEF W/APPENDIX)

DISP-AFFIRMED
|
|
Based on the foregoing, we affirm the holding of the Fourth District in Williams v. American Optical Corp., 985 So. 2d 23 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008), that retroactive application of the Act to the Appellees, and other claimants who had accrued causes of action for asbestos-related disease pending on the effective date of the Act, is impermissible because it violates the due process clause of the Florida Constitution. We disapprove the decision of the Third District in DaimlerChrysler Corporation v. Hurst, 949 So. 2d 279 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007), to the extent it is inconsistent with this opinion.
