Adalberto Vega v. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation
The Third DCA affirmed the Miami-Dade Circuit Court's judgment in favor of Citizens Property Insurance in a property insurance dispute originating in 2016. The per curiam citation opinion addresses settlement enforcement, contract formation, and case jurisdiction — affirming that the party seeking to enforce a settlement must prove the opposing party's assent, that no contract forms absent timely acceptance, and that failure to timely raise a case-jurisdiction objection constitutes waiver. Practitioners should note the court's citation to the Florida Supreme Court's July 2025 ruling in JJJTB, Inc. v. Schmidt definitively establishing case jurisdiction as waivable.
