About the Florida Business Courts

The Florida Complex Business Litigation Courts are not established as a separate unitary court. Each Complex Business Litigation Court has been created by an administrative order of the chief judge of a judicial circuit and is a section of the General Civil Jurisdiction Division or General Jurisdiction Division of the circuit court in a particular judicial circuit. Accordingly, each Complex Business Litigation Court has adopted separate procedures and forms applicable only to that court and rulings of one Complex Business Litigation Court are not controlling on the other courts. See the page for each Judge and the requirements for their court and division.


This site is sponsored by the Business Law Section of The Florida Bar for the benefit of its members, the judiciary and the general public. This site is not an official site, but is offered as a tool to locate information about the complex business litigation divisions in circuit civil jurisdictions in the State of Florida.

Justifiable reliance is an element of a claim for negligent misrepresentation, but not an element of a claim for fraudulent misrepresentation. Moreover, “lack of due diligence” is not synonymous with not having justifiably relied on a statement or representation.

Saichek v. Cab Builders, LLC, --- So.3d ----, 2010 WL 3488976 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010)

09.11.10

The appointment of a receiver vests the receiver with custody of the res and the appointing court with power to adjudicate all assets of the receivership. Accordingly, a non-appointing court cannot compel a receiver to distribute portions of the res.

Florida Hurricane Protection and Awning, Inc. v. Pastina, --- So.3d ----, 2010 WL 3488714 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010) (en banc)

09.11.10

The Fourth District holds 6 to 5 that Fla. Stat. § 57.105 (7) (one-sided attorneys’ fees provisions are mutually enforceable) is narrowly construed, and a homeowner who prevails against a contractor in a breach of contract action is not entitled to contractual attorneys’ fees since the attorneys’ fees provision is for collection actions only.

Velletri v. Dixon, --- So.3d ----, 2010 WL 3515674 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010).

09.11.10


Whether a loan is usurious is determined on date of inception of the loan. Moreover, construction loans which place funds in escrow and charge interest on the entire amount outstanding, and not just the funds disbursed, may be usurious.
