No. 3D22-44

Decided: January 04, 2023

Before EMAS, HENDON and MILLER, JJ.

Ghidotti | Berger LLP, and Chase A. Berger, Tara Rosenfeld, and Jason L. Duggar, for appellant. Neil Rose (Hollywood); Howard S. Weinstein P.A., and Howard S. Weinstein (Hollywood), for appellee.

Affirmed. See Jersey Palm-Gross, Inc. v. Paper, 658 So. 2d 531, 535 (Fla. 1995) (holding that “a usury savings clause cannot, by itself, absolutely insulate a lender from a finding of usury ․ Rather, [it is] one factor to be considered in the overall determination of whether the lender intended to exact a usurious interest rate;” further observing “that a contrary holding would permit a lender to ‘relieve himself of the pains and penalties visited by law upon such an act by merely writing into the contract a disclaimer of any intention to do that which under his contract he has plainly done.’ ”) (Additional citations omitted.)
