Supreme Court of Florida

Donna Franks v. Gary John Bowers, M.d. — Pariente, J., Concurring

June 20, 201338 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 416

Summary

Justice Pariente concurs with the majority, holding that the Financial Agreement is void because it deprives patients of statutory rights without the statutory benefit of a defendant’s admission of liability, contrary to the public policy of the Medical Malpractice Statute. The concurrence emphasizes the statutory quid‑pro‑quo and the need for a commensurate benefit to support arbitration provisions.
