Citizens Property Insurance Corp. v. Perdido Sun Condominium Association, Inc.

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court held that a statutory first‑party bad‑faith claim under §624.155(l)(b) is not an exception to the immunity granted to Citizens Property Insurance Corporation under §627.351(6)(s) because it is not a "willful tort," and therefore affirmed the trial court’s dismissal. The Court reversed the First District Court of Appeal and remanded with instructions to reinstate the dismissal.
