Rules Matter: Summary Judgment Granted Due to Procedural Problems with Plaintiffs’ Affidavits

Eli Marger, of our Tampa office, obtained a summary judgment for our client in a case involving windstorm loss. Eli filed the motion with the court, and counsel for the insureds were late in submitting their response in opposition, which was accompanied by affidavits of the insureds and a general contractor. The court concluded the affidavits were untimely but still considered them. Eli argued that in addition to the affidavits being untimely, they were conclusory and provided no significant factual background, which made them insufficient under Florida law. The court agreed, striking the affidavits as untimely and legally insufficient, and granting summary judgment for the insurer.
