Supreme Court of Florida February 3, 2011, SC09-751 (Osborne v. Dumoulin)

CANADY, C.J.

In this case we consider the circumstances under which a debtor is entitled to the statutory $4000 personal property exemption from legal process for debtors who do not claim or receive the benefit of a homestead exemption. We have for review a question certified by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit regarding the meaning of section 222.
