Florida District Courts of Appeal, 1988

School Board of Collier County v. Fletcher, Valenti & Chillura, Inc.

Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 21, 1988 · Danahy, Hall, Scheb

541 So. 2d 1209; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 156; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 5651; 1988 WL 137228 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We agree with appellant’s contention that the appellee’s actions constitute a waiver of its right to arbitration. See, e.g., Seville Condominium, #1, Inc. v. Clearwater Development Corp., 340 So.2d 1243 (Fla. 2d DCA 1977), cert. denied, 348 So. 2d 945 (Fla. 1977); Ojus Industries, Inc. v. Mann, 221 So.2d 780 (Fla. 3d DCA 1969).

Accordingly, we reverse the circuit court’s order referring the case for arbitration and abating the action and remand for further proceedings.

SCHEB, A.C.J., and DANAHY and HALL, JJ., concur.
