LATIN AMERICAN PROPERTY & CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 1988-11-29
No. 88-1887
Before HUBBART, NESBITT and FERGUSON, JJ.
534 So. 2d 820 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1988) Caution
Cited by 6 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The appellee confesses error on the authority of Roe v. Amica Mut. Ins. Co., 533 So. 2d 279 (Fla.1988), decided after this appeal was filed. Roe disapproves of Berger v. Fireman’s Fund Ins. Co., 515 So. 2d 997 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987), invalidating an escape clause in an agreement to arbitrate, which was relied upon by the trial court.

Accordingly, the order dismissing the appellant’s motion to compel arbitration is reversed and the cause is remanded for consistent proceedings.
