Supreme Court of Florida

Bollettieri Resort Villas Condominium Association, Inc., Petitioner v. the Bank of New York Mellon

October 12, 2017228 So. 3d 72

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida, per curiam, found that the certified conflict presented in Bollettieri had been resolved by subsequent appellate decisions and therefore exercised its discretion to decline review, dismissing the petition. The dismissal was based on the resolution of the conflict, not on the merits of the underlying statute‑of‑limitations question. Justice Lawson, in a special concurrence, warned that Florida courts misunderstand how the statute of limitations operates with optional acceleration provisions in long‑term notes.
