Mattamy Florida LLC v. Reserve at Loch Lake Homeowners Ass'n, Inc.
A homeowners association sued the developer for construction and design defects; the developer moved to dismiss and compel arbitration, attaching only one 'exemplary' home purchase agreement and one limited warranty, with no affidavits. The Fifth DCA affirmed denial of the motion, holding Mattamy failed to carry its burden of proving an enforceable arbitration agreement binding the association's members, and that the trial court was not required to consider the 98 purchase agreements filed after the denial.
