Supreme Court of Florida

Eileen Hernandez, M.d., Petitioners v. Lualhati Crespo, Respondents — Pariente, J., Concurring

December 22, 201641 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 625

Summary

Justice Pariente concurs with the majority that the arbitration agreement is void as against public policy, emphasizing that the existence of a medical‑malpractice crisis is irrelevant to that determination. He reiterates the statutory public policy requiring defendant liability admission and notes the agreement undermines that policy. The opinion also distinguishes this case from McCall, which involved constitutional challenges to statutory caps.
