Supreme Court of Florida
Bollettieri Resort Villas Condominium Association, Inc., Petitioner v. the Bank of New York Mello — Lawson, J…
October 12, 2017228 So. 3d 72
Summary
Justice Lawson concurs with the majority that the certified conflict in Bollettieri has been resolved, but emphasizes that Florida courts fundamentally misunderstand how the statute of limitations, §95.11(2)(c), applies to long‑term notes and mortgages. He reiterates the established rule that a missed‑payment default does not trigger the limitations period unless the holder elects to accelerate the note. The concurrence contains no binding holding and serves only as persuasive commentary.
