Caryn Bellus and Daniela Marrero of our Miami office obtained an affirmance of a trial court’s finding of a valid settlement that was reached after mediation in Kaplafka-Dinofa v. Camden Operating, L.P., case number 2D2024-2052. Caryn and Daniela successfully argued to the Second DCA that the trial court was correct in finding that settlement was reached after mediation and that the writing requirement of Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.730(b) did not apply as the settlement was reached after mediation officially ended.
