Text: The bonding companies were made parties to this law suit as sureties of the members of the board of supervisors. In Lewis, 498 So.2d at 324, the Court held that since the supervisor, as the principal, had qualified immunity and was therefore not liable in that action, no liability could be imputed to his surety since no liability may be imputed to its surety beyond that of its principal.
