Apex Roofing and Restoration, LLC a/a/o Nancy Forde v. Security First Insurance Company
In an AOB roof-repair breach of contract suit, the county court overruled the contractor's trade-secret objections to discovery of subcontractor agreements, invoices, and payment proofs without holding an in camera inspection or evidentiary hearing and without specific findings. The Fifth DCA granted certiorari and quashed the order, adopting the three-step trade-secret discovery framework and holding that a factual dispute over whether single-transaction pricing materials could be extrapolated to reveal commercial methods requires in camera review.
