Anthony Rojas v. University of Florida Board of Trustees

Summary

The court quashed the First District's dismissal of a student's breach-of-contract claims against a state university, holding that sovereign immunity does not categorically bar claims based on implied covenants or conditions in an authorized written contract. The court also rejected any requirement that a government contract specify services, performance details, or remedies with extraordinary specificity, while leaving for further litigation whether the statutory authorization covered the particular claims. The certified question was reframed and answered in the negative.
