Congratulations to Angela Flowers for prevailing in Lovell v. Security First Ins. Co.

Congratulations to Angela Flowers, of our Ocala office, for prevailing in Lovell v. Security First Ins. Co., No. 2D21-501 (Fla. 2d DCA July 1, 2022).

The Court agreed with Angela that the insureds failed to timely appeal because, pursuant to the new appellate rule governing non-final appeals, it did not have jurisdiction over an appeal to enforce a purported settlement agreement because the appeal was taken from a subsequent trial order clarifying that the trial court’s prior denial was as a matter of law, and a motion for rehearing or clarification does not toll rendition of a non-final order. Further, the clarifying order is not independently appealable because the court did not issue a new ruling on the enforceability of the purported settlement agreement. Read full opinion here.
