Description
FERGUSON, Judge. The petitioners, who are the defendants in the trial court action, bring this proceeding in prohibition to prevent the trial
court from exercising jurisdiction in a medical malpractice action arising from a birth-related neurological injury which
resulted in the infant's death. The plaintiffs sought a declaration that the statute on which the defendants' jurisdictional
argument is based, section 766.303, Florida Statutes (1991), is unconstitutional.
