District Court of Appeal of Florida

Confirmation of an arbitration award and entry of final judgment in favor a bank is affirmed where there was an absence of a timely challenge to the arbitration award or presentation of a viable issue to the trial court which had not been submitted to arbitration. Further, a post-judgment order awarding the bank attorney's fees and costs is affirmed due to a failure to file a timely notice of appeal.
