Lecorps v. Star Lakes Association, Inc.
After a fire destroyed part of one building in a seventeen-building multicondominium operated by a single association, the association levied a community-wide special assessment to cover restoration costs exceeding insurance proceeds. The trial court first enjoined the assessment, then dissolved the injunction after concluding it had committed legal error. The Third DCA affirmed, holding the association could assess all unit owners under section 718.111(6) (consolidated financial operations for pre-1977 condominiums), that no unit-owner vote was required for urgently needed common-element repairs, and that a trial court need not find changed circumstances to dissolve a temporary injunction it erroneously entered.
