Description
We have for review the decision of the Fifth District Court of Appeal in Matetzschk v. Lamb, 849 So. 2d 1141 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003), which certified conflict with the Second District Court of Appeal's decision in Barnes v. Kellogg Co., 846 So. 2d 568 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. For the reasons which follow, we approve the Fifth District's decision in Matetzschk, disapprove the Second District's decision in Barnes, and hold that the plain language of Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.442 mandates that offers of settlement be differentiated between the parties, even if a party's liability is purely vicarious.
