Anderson v. City of Atlanta, Case No. 24-13509 (11th Cir. 2026).
The distinction between on‑premises and off‑premises “general advertising” signs in subsection (7) of Atlanta’s 1982 sign code constitutes a content‑neutral regulation of speech subject to intermediate scrutiny, not a content‑based restriction triggering strict scrutiny under the First Amendment.
Joyce v. Forest River, Inc., Case No. 24-12819 (11th Cir. 2026).
The presumptions in Florida Statute section 681.104(3) (Florida’s Lemon Law) of “reasonable number of attempts” to repair are permissive evidentiary presumptions and not mandatory prerequisites to a consumer’s entitlement to relief, so a consumer may prove a reasonable number of repair attempts without satisfying the statutory presumptions.
The Lane Construction Corp. v. Skanska USA Civil Southeast, Inc., Case No. 24-12638 (11th Cir. 2026).
A joint‑venture partner that refuses to fund contractually required capital calls materially breaches the joint‑venture agreement, notwithstanding alleged fiduciary‑duty breaches by the managing partner, and the non‑breaching partners are contractually entitled to indemnity and prejudgment interest for having paid more than their proportionate shares.
AE Opco III, LLC v. AAR Corp. (In re: AE OpCo III, LLC) (In re: AE OpCo III, LLC), Case No. 25-11348 (11th Cir. 2026).
Section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code requires disallowance of a creditor’s contingent reimbursement claim when the creditor is co‑liable with the debtor to a third party, but does not bar a fixed indemnity claim for already‑incurred defense costs.
In re: Amendments to Rules Regulating The Florida Bar – Substance Use Terminology, Case No. SC2025-1172 (Fla. 2026).
The Florida Supreme Court approves Florida Bar rule amendments effective June 15, 2026 which update terminology to “substance use disorder” instead of “chemical dependency” and “mental health conditions” instead of “psychological problems,” expand bylaw 2-3.2(d)(11) to authorize a program for “enhanced opportunities and participation in the profession,” and clarify in bylaw 2-9.11 that funding for substance use and mental health assistance programs must comply with Standing Board Policy restrictions applicable to mandatory and voluntary Bar groups.
Dune Allen Beach, Inc. v. Breen Realty Ltd LP, Case No. 1D25-0984 (Fla. 1st DCA 2026).
Latent ambiguity in the deeds presents disputed factual issues that preclude summary judgment on quiet title and declaratory claims where the beachfront deeds fix a parcel’s southern boundary by a fixed metes‑and‑bounds call from a highway but do not mention the Gulf of Mexico or the mean high‑water line, and the parties offer conflicting extrinsic evidence on whether the original grantor intended to convey littoral rights.
Owners of Trailers at Li’l Abner Trailer Park v. CREI Holdings, LLC, Case No. 3D25-0762 (Fla. 3d DCA 2026).
Dismissal with prejudice of plaintiffs’ Mobile Home Act and injunction counts is proper where the individual mobile‑home owners lack standing to assert a statutory claim that a park owner failed to give the homeowners’ association its right‑of‑first‑refusal notice under Florida Statutes section 723.061(1)(d)1 and where the record shows the park’s rent‑increase notice was sent more than 90 days before a change‑of‑use eviction notice and the complaint pleads no viable statutory or other basis for standalone injunctive relief.
Grossfeld v. CV Funding, LLC, Case No. 3D24-2235 (Fla. 3d DCA 2026).
A trial court may summarily enforce a settlement agreement without an evidentiary hearing when the existence and terms of a settlement agreement are undisputed, and its enforcement provision unambiguously authorizes remedies “without hearing” upon a tenant’s breach.
Inversiones Alfa V, C.A. v. Cedros Management Investments, LLC, Case No. 3D25-0218 (Fla. 3d DCA 2026).
A defrauded party may elect rescission rather than damages following a jury finding of fraudulent inducement in a property exchange when full restoration of the status quo is impossible, and so long as the trial court acted within its equitable discretion by rescinding the exchange and ordering return of the condominium, while reasonably balancing the parties’ equities, and a damages award is not complete relief.
Shopping Center Interest, LLC v. TAB 250, Ltd., Case No. 4D2024-1066 (Fla. 4th DCA 2026).
A trial judge who adopts a party’s proposed final judgment verbatim – especially one embedded with that party’s letterhead and containing legal arguments previously rejected on the record – fails to exercise the independent judicial decision‑making required and renders the damages judgment reversible.
Caballero-Quinones v. Polk County Sheriff, Case No. 2D23-4106 (Fla. 6th DCA 2025).
An appellate court may not apply Florida Statutes section 90.403 as a “tipsy coachman” ground for affirming exclusion of evidence when the trial court never conducted a 403 balancing analysis.
La Minnesota Riviera, LLC v. Riviera Golf Estates Homeowners Ass’n, Inc., Case No. 6D25-0443 (Fla. 6th DCA 2026).
A decades‑old use restriction requiring property to operate as a golf course is extinguished under Florida’s Marketable Record Title Act when it is not preserved in any muniment of title after the root of title, and a separately recorded affidavit referencing the old deed restriction but not carrying or passing title is not itself a “muniment of title” capable of preserving the restriction.
Rickert v. Valencia, Case No. 2D24-2126 (Fla. 6th DCA 2026).
A residential landlord in an RV park is entitled to an immediate default and final judgment of possession under Florida Statutes section 83.60(2) when tenants do not pay rent into the court registry “when due” as alleged in the complaint, and the trial court errs by setting aside such a judgment based on an untimely registry payment and on unsworn assertions about the applicability of the Mobile Home Act.
