Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit November 4, 1985, 85-5190 (Bonnie Bailey, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Clarence W. Bailey, on Behalf of the Estate and Survivors v. Carnival Cruise Lines, Inc.)

JOHNSON, Circuit Judge:

In this ease we are presented with a question of first impression: whether the filing of a suit under the Death on the High Seas Act in a state court will toll the running of a contractual time bar. The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida held that filing an action in state court would prevent the running of such a bar.
