Bonded Transportation, Inc. v. Lee

PER CURIAM. This case was consolidated for trial and appeal with Lee et ux. v. Bonded Transportation, Inc., Case No. U-124, Opinion dated February 20, 1975, not yet reported, wherein this Court reversed on authority of Fitzsimmons v. City of Pensacola, 297 So.2d 107 (Fla.App. 1st., 1974). Appellant seeks review of an adverse final judgment rendered in favor of appel-lee. The principal question preserved on appeal is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the judgment. In our review of the record we have given due consideration to the applicable appellate principle that a judgment of the trial court reaches the appellate court clothed with a presumption of correctness. Our review of the record reveals that although the testimony is conflicting, there is substantial evidence to support the jury’s verdict and judgment thereon. It is not the province of this Court to substitute its judgment for that of the trier of the facts. These findings will not be disturbed in the absence of a clear showing that the trial court committed error or that the evidence demonstrates that the conclusions reached are erroneous. The judgment appealed is accordingly affirmed. See Cockerham v. R. E. Vaughan, Inc., 82 So.2d 890 (Fla. 1955). BOYER, Acting C. J., and McCORD and MILLS, JJ., concur.
