9/10/20 Florida Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Steven Younkin v. Nathan Blackwelder SC19-385

Nathan Blackwelder sued Steven Younkin for personal injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Younkin’s legal counsel retained a physician to perform a medical examination on Blackwelder. Before the scheduled exam, Blackwelder requested information about the financial relationship between Younkin’s legal counsel and the medical expert. The trial court approved the request over Younkin’s objections. Younkin filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the Fifth District Court of Appeal, challenging the trial court’s ruling. The Fifth DCA denied the petition but certified a question of great public importance to this Court for review.
