Affirmed.

SCHWARTZ, Judge

(dissenting).

In my judgment, the trial court abused its discretion in denying the defendants’ motion to transfer this cause to Broward County under the forum non conveniens statute, Section 47.122, Florida Statutes (1979). Kelly-Springfield Tire Co. v. Moore, 355 So.2d 451 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978); see Della-Donna v. Gore Newspaper Co., 390 So.2d 87 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980), review denied, 399 So.2d 1141 (Fla. 1981), and cases cited. I would therefore reverse the order under review.
