Bentley Bay Retail, LLC, filed a suit in a Florida state court against Soho Bay Restaurant, LLC,

Question:

Bentley Bay Retail, LLC, filed a suit in a Florida state court against Soho Bay Restaurant, LLC, and against its corporate officers, Luiz and Karine Queiroz, in their individual capacities. Bentley Bay claimed that the Queirozes had breached their personal guaranty for Soho Bay’s debt to Bentley Bay. The plaintiff filed notices with the court to depose the Queirozes, who resided in Brazil. The Queirozes argued that they could not be deposed in Brazil. The court ordered them to appear in Florida to provide depositions in their corporate capacity. Witnesses appearing in court outside the jurisdiction of their residence are immune from service of process while in court. On the Queirozes’ appearance in Florida, can they be served with process in their individual capacities? Explain. [Queiroz v. Bentley Bay Retail, LLC, 43 Fla.L.Weekly D85, 237 So.3d 1108 (3 Dist. 2018)] (See Pretrial Procedures.)
