February 9, 2018263 So. 3d 681
Summary
The court denied consolidated petitions for writs of mandamus challenging an order that vacated a prior judgment and reinstated claims against the petitioners. It held that a prelitigation release neither mooted later-filed claims nor deprived the trial court of subject-matter jurisdiction, and that the petitioners had an adequate remedy by appeal after final judgment. The court therefore declined to review the interlocutory order through mandamus.
