LEE GOLDWICH, APPELLANT,
v.
LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 1988-11-15
No. 88-1021
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.
537 So. 2d 599 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1988)

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a final judgment determining that an arbitration escape provision in an uninsured motorist policy was void. The judgment, requiring the insured to pursue his claim in court, is reversed on authority of Roe v. Arnica Mutual Insurance Co., 533 So. 2d 279 (Fla.1988), aff’g Amica Mutual Insurance Co. v. Roe, 515 So. 2d 1370 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987). In that case, the supreme court held that nonbinding arbitration clauses are not in conflict with the Florida Arbitration Code, and thus disapproved Berger v. Fireman’s Fund In surance Co., 515 So. 2d 997 (Fla. 3d DCA), review dismissed, 519 So. 2d 987 (Fla.1987).

REVERSED and REMANDED.
