Steel Fabricators, Inc. v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 7, 1984 · Anstead, Downey, Glickstein
445 So. 2d 1149; 1984 Fla. App. LEXIS 12210 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Steel Fabricators, Inc. v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED. We do not believe the appellant has demonstrated error in the trial court’s entry of summary judgment essentially predicated upon a previously entered arbitration award and judgment entered thereon which specifically denied a claim that appellant now contends was really granted by the arbitrators but used as a setoff against claims made against the appellant in the arbitration proceedings. We have been cited no authority that would allow a trial court in a collateral proceeding to impeach findings of an arbitration panel that have been subsequently judicially approved.

ANSTEAD, C.J., and DOWNEY and GLICKSTEIN, JJ., concur.
