Q. Does a board meeting qualify as "the next regular or special meeting of the association" under FL Statute 720.309(2)(a)?

April 25, 2025

A: No, a special meeting usually refers to a special meeting of the members, not a board meeting. This is governed by § 720.306, Fla. Stat., and it typically involves homeowners/members being called together for a specific purpose (e.g., voting on amendments, removal of directors, etc.). Special meetings of the members require 14 days' mailed and posted notice, not just 48 hours. I would recommend pursuing a recall and upon prevailing forcing a special meeting for the recall. My firm can help you pursue these efforts.

Q. Purchased car advertised as clean title, found salvage with misfiring engine.

March 25, 2025

A: Was there a contract signed related to the transaction or at the very least an email reflecting those terms? If not, you may still have a viable claim against the seller, but it will ultimately be a he said/ she said situation and likely no ability to recover attorneys fees. It may not be a lawsuit worth filing, but maybe a demand letter may incentivize an offer. You also need to obtain a repair estimate to identify the value of the case.

Q. Can I claim damages for a former employee selling for competitor while employed?

March 17, 2025

A: You may have a claim for damages under a theory of tortious business interference. To establish a claim for tortious interference with a business relationship in Florida, a plaintiff must demonstrate the existence of a business relationship, the defendant's knowledge of that relationship, intentional and unjustified interference by the defendant, and resultant damage to the plaintiff.
