Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 1, 1985 · Campbell, Danahy, Hall
467 So. 2d 1115; 10 Fla. L. Weekly 1112; 1985 Fla. App. LEXIS 13802 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. v. Castle Supply Co.

Opinion of the Court

DANAHY, Acting Chief Judge.

The appellant, the surety on a general contractor’s payment bond, appeals a summary judgment in favor of a materialman not paid by a plumbing subcontractor. Upon consideration of the briefs and record on appeal, we conclude that there are genuine issues of material fact as to whether all the materials supplied by the appellee were delivered and incorporated in the construction project and as to whether the appellee is entitled to its “service charges” or is limited to the legal rate of interest specified in section 687.01, Florida Statutes (1983). Therefore, we reverse the final summary judgment and remand this cause for further proceedings. Holl v. Talcott, 191 So.2d 40 (Fla. 1966); St. Clair v. Smith, 445 So.2d 1113 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

CAMPBELL and HALL, JJ., concur.
