Barrish v. Interiors by Steven G., Inc.
The Third DCA affirmed a final judgment in a ten-year interior design dispute.

The cross-appeal challenging the trial court's $103,134 setoff for defective wood flooring was also rejected because the settlement communication used to establish the setoff had independent evidentiary value.
