A state court judge in Florida granted a motion to dismiss a case with prejudice involving a newly elected congresswoman and her war-veteran husband, whose service dog bit a minor.
Attorney David J. Lisko, a partner at Holland & Knight in Tampa, said Pinellas Circuit Judge Amy Williams expanded the Fourth District Court of Appeal’s ruling in Tran v. Bancroft in which a landlord was not liable for an attack by a tenant’s dog that occurred away from the leased premises on property the landlord did not own.
