First Nat'l Bank of Miami, 270 So. 2d 379, 380 (Fla. 3d DCA 1972) (affirming exercise of discretion in denial of motions to vacate and for rehearing of summary judgment premised on movant's counsel's failure to attend original hearing, where no prejudice was shown other than absent counsel's inability to argue against motion).
