By the early 1990s, the general aviation industry teetered on the brink of death. Because many general aviation aircraft remained in service for several decades, the aircraft imposed a “long tail of liability” on their manufacturers that crippled the industry. Acknowledging the manufacturers’ burden of defending litigation for the life of an aircraft, Congress moved to cut off the long tail of liability and enacted the General Aviation Revitalization Act (GARA), which established an eighteen-year statute of repose that barred a range of product liability lawsuits against general aviation aircraft manufacturers. The Authors argue that Florida courts have disregarded GARA’s purpose (saving manufacturers from costly litigation) by prohibiting immediate appeals of orders denying dismissal based on GARA and forcing manufacturers to endure the costs of trial before they may appeal. Exploring cases with divergent outcomes on the issue, this Article asserts that these burdensome litigation costs constitute permanent, irreparable damage to the manufacturers that can only be remedied by immediate certiorari review.
