The Cape FC, LLC v. Baker Barrios Architects, Inc.
A developer sued its architect-of-record for breach of contract and professional negligence; the architect moved to dismiss on limitations grounds, relying on a contractual accrual clause providing that claims accrue when the owner discovers the basis for the claim. The court held the accrual clause void under Fla. Stat. § 95.03 because it effectively shortened the four-year period in § 95.11(b), which runs from the earliest of a temporary CO, CO, or certificate of completion, and denied the motion.
