Diamond Edge Construction, LLC v. The Moorings of Pinellas County Condominium Ass'n, Inc.
Diamond Edge, an unlicensed contractor, moved to compel arbitration under an unsigned Construction Services Agreement that lacked a scope of work and contract price. The Second District affirmed denial of the motion, holding that the movant failed to prove an agreement to arbitrate existed: allegations in a complaint that is not yet at issue are not binding admissions, the owner's unexplained $818,266.02 payment could not be tied to the agreement so as to show acquiescence, and the document itself was at best an unenforceable agreement to agree missing essential terms.
