Cerim Ceramiche, S.P.A. v. Central Tile, Inc.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 23, 1992 · Cope, Gersten, Levy
601 So. 2d 304; 1992 Fla. App. LEXIS 7222; 1992 WL 139149 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Cerim Ceramiche, S.P.A. v. Central Tile, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The trial court correctly concluded that the forum selection clause is permissive, not mandatory, see Granados Quinones v. Swiss Bank Corp., 509 So.2d 273, 275 (Fla. 1987), and that appellant has sufficient minimum contacts with Florida to permit the appellee’s lawsuit to be maintained in this jurisdiction. See International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 826 U.S. 310, 66 S.Ct. 154, 90 L.Ed. 95 (1945). The motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction was correctly denied.

Affirmed.
