Silver Beach Investments of Destin, Lc, Petitioner(s) v. Silver Beach Towers Property Owners Associ — Lewis, J…

Summary

Justice Lewis dissented from the Court's refusal to accept jurisdiction over a certified conflict concerning the bond required to stay execution of a money judgment pending appeal. The dissent would have resolved the conflict by holding that a stay under the appellate rules requires a bond for the full judgment amount plus applicable interest, rather than permitting trial courts to impose lesser conditions. The dissent emphasizes that leaving the conflict unresolved creates unequal treatment, forum shopping, and uncertainty regarding the security of judgments.
