Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal and a cross appeal from a summary judgment as to liability in a suit brought by Fred Howland, Inc., a contractor, for damages from the Board of Public Instruction of Dade County, Florida. The suit grew out of a contract for the construction of a part of the Miami-Dade Junior College. The summary judgment is unusual in that it is predicated upon a stipulation which was made a part of the record by the trial judge in the introductory paragraph of the judgment. It is as follows: "Counsel for the parties conceded that the liability issues in this cause should be ruled upon by the court as a matter of law."
We point out the stipulation in order to eliminate any contention that the summary judgment should be reversed because there are genuine issues of material fact. The doctrine of invited error would prevent either party from contending that the trial judge ought not have decided the case upon established law as applied to the fact situation which he found from the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories and admissions on file, together with the affidavits. Geiser v. Permacrete, Inc., Fla.1956, 90 So.2d 610; Wilson v. Milligan, Fla.App. 1962, 147 So.2d 618.
We have reviewed the record in this light and find that no error has been shown upon any assignment of error or any cross assignment of error.
Affirmed.
