Chipotle Mexican Grill of Colorado LLC on Wednesday won a reversal of a trial court decision that seemed to turn on its lawyer's punctuality.
Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal overturned a ruling that would have allowed a plaintiff in a slip-and-fall case to access documents the restaurant chain said were confidential.
Chipotle, a defendant in a 2016 premises liability suit, objected to discovery requests by Yuvitkza Quinones, who claimed she slipped on a spill on a restaurant walkway in August 2014.
