McNulty v. Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 24, 2002 · Farmer, Taylor, Warner
814 So. 2d 527; 2002 Fla. App. LEXIS 5206; 2002 WL 662782 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

McNulty v. Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges an order of the Construction Licensing Board requiring him to satisfy a judgment against him pursuant to section 489.129(l)(r), Florida Statutes (1997). He claims that the judgment resulted from an arbitration proceeding of which he was not given notice and that he was not a qualifier for the company involved in the arbitration. Appellant sought to vacate the judgment, but his request was denied. Section 489.129(l)(r) only requires proof that appellant, as a licensee or a qualified licensee for a business organization, failed to satisfy a judgment, related to contracting, within a reasonable time. Thus, whether appellant was a qualifier for the company was irrelevant. The civil judgment was entered against McNulty personally, satisfying the statutory requirements. We must therefore affirm the Construction Licensing Board’s order.

WARNER, FARMER and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
