Description

WENTWORTH, J. Branscomb seeks review of an order by which his motion for leave to file an amended counterclaim, cross-claim, and to add a party and file a third-party complaint was denied. We find that the court below erred in denying Branscomb's motion, and we therefore reverse the order before us.1{/Cite} Branscomb was the driver of an automobile in a multi-vehicle collision which also involved Ploof Truck Lines, Inc., and Carolina Freight Carriers Corp. Ploof filed a property damage action in Duval County, against both Branscomb and Carolina; Branscomb cross-claimed against Carolina, and counterclaimed against Ploof, for contribution and property damage. Branscomb thereafter filed a personal injury action, predicated on the same multi-vehicle collision, against Ploof and Carolina in Orange County. Pursuant to motions to dismiss and transfer filed in the Orange County action, the court transferred the cause to Duval County where it was docketed as an independent proceeding.
