Whether the Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal's decision unfairly deprived citizens of their constitutional rights to access-to-court and due-process
QUESTION PRESENTED Standing is the fundamental concept that determines if a litigant is afforded access to court, and thereby be entitled to the meaningful opportunity to redress their grievances that is promised by the United States Constitution. Here the appellate court, in affirming the order of the trial court per curiam in finding a lack of standing, improperly and unfairly abrogated the right to access court and the right to due process that should have been afforded. This Petition presents the following issues: Whether, by affirming that Petitioners lack standing, in the face of evidence to the contrary and procedural improprieties, the Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal’s decision unfairly deprives citizens of their Constitutional rights to access to court and due process. Whether, by affirming that Petitioners lack standing, in the face of evidence to the contrary and procedural improprieties, the Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal fundamentally erred.
