The District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District, overturned the previous decision in the Take Care of Maya civil trial.

In November of 2023, a Sarasota County jury found Johns Hopkins All Childrens Hospital liable for all civil claims in the Take Care of Maya trial and preliminarily awarded the Kowalski family $211,451,174.

Johns Hopkins filed a motion to reverse the final judgment on claims that the trial court misinterpreted Florida Statute 39.203(1)(a) (immunity for good-faith reporting) and allowed evidence that should have been excluded from court arguments since it was protected from immunity. The court dismissed all counts and remanded for a new trial on a limited set of claims.

Johns Hopkins' legal representation forwarded this statement to Tampa Bay 28.
