No. 93-0415.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Sept. 8, 1993.
Kenneth J. Moran of McGuire Woods Battle & Boothe, Richmond, Virginia, Steven J. Rothman and Mark B. Kleinfeld of Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs, P.A., West Palm Beach, for petitioner.
Jeffrey M. Liggio of Liggio & Luckman, and Philip M. Burlington of Edna L. Caruso, P.A., West Palm Beach, for respondents.
Alfred W. Córtese, Jr., and Kathleen L. Blaner of Kirkland & Ellis, Washington, DC, and George N. Meros, Jr. of Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell, Tallahassee, for amicus curiae Product Liability Advisory Council, Inc.
Loren E. Levy, Tallahassee, for amicus curiae Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We grant the petition for writ of certiorari and quash the order compelling disclosure of information which the parties did not dispute constituted a trade secret. Respondents failed to meet-their burden to demonstrate that such disclosure was reasonably necessary. See Freedom Newspapers, Inc. v. Egly, 507 So.2d 1180, 1184 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987); Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. v. Cooey, 359 So.2d 1200 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978); East Colonial Refuse Service, Inc. v. Velocci, 416 So.2d 1276 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982).
