ORACLE ELEVATOR COMPANY v. OMNI AT CORAL WAY INC (2022)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

ORACLE ELEVATOR COMPANY, Appellant, v. OMNI AT CORAL WAY, INC., etc., Appellee.

No. 3D21-1354

Decided: January 12, 2022

Before FERNANDEZ, C.J., and LINDSEY, and HENDON, JJ.

Sheldon R. Rosenthal, Miami, for appellant. ADR Miami, LLC, and Juan Ramirez, Jr., Miami, for appellee.

Appellant Oracle Elevator Company (“Oracle”) appeals the trial court's order granting Omni at Coral Way's (“Omni”) motion for summary judgment. Because there is a genuine issue of material fact, summary judgment is inappropriate. We thus reverse and remand for further proceedings.

“We review the trial court's orders granting final summary judgment de novo.” Siegel v. Tower Hill Signature Ins. Co., 225 So. 3d 974, 976 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017).

This is a breach of contract action brought by Oracle against Omni. The parties provided copies of the same alleged contract to the trial court, one signed and one unsigned. There is a genuine issue of material fact on the basic question of whether the parties had a signed agreement. This is a question for the trier of fact that cannot be resolved on summary judgment. See Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.510; United Servs. Auto. Ass'n v. Velez, 305 So. 3d 682, 685 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020).

Accordingly, we reverse and remand the order on appeal for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded.

FERNANDEZ, C.J.
