Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 13, 2007 · Griffin, Lawson, Orfinger
957 So. 2d 23; 2007 Fla. App. LEXIS 5424; 2007 WL 1093703 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Abbott v. Forward Design Development, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The test to be utilized with respect to restraints on alienation is the test of reasonableness. Iglehart v. Phillips, 383 So.2d 610, 614 (Fla. 1980). The validity or invalidity of a restraint depends on its long-term effect on the improvement and marketability of the property. Id. Here, the contract was not an unreasonable restraint on the alienation of the property since it did not have a long-term effect on the improvement and marketability of the property.

AFFIRMED.

GRIFFIN, ORFINGER and LAWSON, JJ., concur.
