De Cardenas v. White Pine Insurance Company
Homeowners sued their insurer for hurricane water-intrusion damage; the trial court granted summary judgment for the insurer with only a conclusory statement that the homeowners' roofing expert's affidavit was insufficient to create a genuine issue of material fact. The Third District reversed, holding the order failed to satisfy amended rule 1.510(a)'s mandatory requirement that the court state its reasons on the record with enough specificity to guide the parties and permit appellate review.
