HARRY F. KLINEFELTER, III, APPELLANT,
v.
AMERICAN EMPLOYERS INSURANCE COMPANY, APPELLEE
HERSEY, Judge.
This appeal presents the single, simple and clear-cut issue of the effect of rendition of an arbitration award after expiration of the period established by contract or rule within which the award was required to have been rendered. The parties argue construction of documents, the effect of language and the existence of facts which might or not constitute waiver. We have considered but need not, and therefore do not, address those arguments. Clearly the arbitrators acted too late and had no jurisdiction at the time the award was rendered. The trial court thus erred in refusing to vacate the award, and we reverse on that basis and remand for further appropriate proceedings.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
DOWNEY and BERANEK, JJ., concur.

Gonzalez v. State, 440 So. 2d 514 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983)…ge. The robbery conviction is a felony and includes, as a necessary element, possession of a firearm. Actually, under current Florida law on double jeopardy, a defendant cannot be lawfully convicted of such closely related charges. Spencer v. State, 438 So. 2d 864 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983). In this instance, it appears that a lay jury may have been quicker to recognize a problem than the judicial system and, having done so, dealt with it by acquitting Gonzalez of the related charge which sought to punish the defend…
