In Government Employees Insurance Company v. Glassco, Inc., No. SC2023-1540 (Fla. Sept. 25, 2024), the Florida Supreme Court held that the Florida Motor Vehicle Repair Act (§ 559.921(1), Fla. Stat.), is a consumer protection law that protects vehicle owners/operators and, therefore, does not grant an insurance company a cause of action when a repair shop fails to comply with certain statutory requirements. Additionally, the Court explained that any statutory violation committed by the repair shop does not result in the voiding (in its entirety) of the repair shop’s invoice, thus rendering no balance due to the shop, as this would amount to “extra-statutory punishment” not contemplated by the Legislature when enacting the Motor Vehicle Repair Act.
