Recently, cases of interest to the business and real estate litigation communities were ruled upon. Below are the case styles and their main decree:<\/p>\n

Ciprian-Escapa v. City of Orlando, — So. 3d —-, 2015 WL 4366551 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015).<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A later-filed affidavit of proof cannot convert a previously unliquidated sum into a liquidated sum such that notice of the final hearing on damages need not be given.<\/p>\n

Reddy v. Zurita, — So. 3d —-, 2015 WL 4366570 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015).<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A defendant that does not object to plaintiff’s changing his claims (without amending his complaint) cannot argue after judgment (or on appeal) that the claims changed.<\/p>\n

Central Park A Metrowest Condominum Assoc., Inc. v. AmTrust REO I, LLC, — So. 3d —-, 2015 WL 4366573 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015).<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unless the final judgment expressly retains such jurisdiction, a trial court’s inherent retention of jurisdiction does not include the jurisdiction to determine the amounts due for condominium assessments under Florida Statute section 718.116’s “safe harbor.”<\/p>\n

St. Clair v. U.S. Bank Nat. Ass’n, — So. 3d —-, 2015 WL 4379738 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015).<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the “shelter rule,” a non-holder in possession may enforce a promissory note it receives from a holder entitled to enforce the note even if the note was transferred to the non-holder without the intention to pass title.<\/p>\n

Amelio v. Marilyn Pines Unit II Condominium Association, Inc., — So.3d —-, 2015 WL 4249923 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015).<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A condominium unit owner is entitled to a mandatory injunction to force their association to repair a leaking slab since the association’s failure repair violates a clear legal right (enforcement of the association documents), irreparable harm is threatened (Florida Statute section 718.303(1) holds that a violation of the association documents establishes irreparable harm), there is no adequate remedy at law (the owners cannot repair the leaking slab themselves) and award of money damages will be inadequate.<\/p>\n

Smith v. Reverse Mortg. Solutions, Inc., — So.3d —-, 2015 WL 4257632 (Fla. 3d DCA 2015).<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A reverse mortgage may not be foreclosed until the death of all borrowers; a wife who does not sign the promissory note (signed only by husband) but signs the mortgage itself is a “borrower” whose homestead may not be foreclosed until her death.<\/p>\n

Peuguero v. Bank of America, N.A., — So.3d —-, 2015 WL 4268796 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015).<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A loan payment history identified and testified to by a witness (but not admitted into evidence) is not sufficient to support an award of damages as set forth in the statement.<\/p>\n

Fairbanks Contracting and Remodeling, Inc. v. Hopcroft, — So.3d —-, 2015 WL 4269624 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015).<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Forum selection clauses apply to Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices claims.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Barnsdale Holdings, LLC v. PHH Mortg. Corp., — So.3d —-, 2015 WL 4269918 (Fla. 3d DCA 2015).<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Judge Shepherd, writing a concurring opinion to a\u00a0per curiam affirmance<\/em>, states that a party acquiring an interest after the filing of a\u00a0lis pendens<\/em>\u00a0is barred from participating in the suit unless it moves to intervene within thirty days of date of filing\u00a0of lis pendens<\/em>.<\/p>\n
