Supreme Court of Florida
Colby Materials, Inc. v. Caldwell Constr., Inc., SC04-774
A decision granting plaintiff's motions to strike and for default in a suit seeking reimbursement for an alleged double-payment in connection with a construction contract is quashed where the decision conflicted with caselaw holding that a showing of excusable neglect is not required to allow amendment of pleadings rendered defective by the absence of an appropriate attorney-agent.
