United States Eleventh Circuit

In an action for breach of contract between an insurance broker and the association responsible for managing a condominium tower located on Singer Island, Florida, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed in part summary judgment for defendant, holding that plaintiff failed to offer evidence that any of the alleged errors made by defendant were intentional or made in bad faith. However, the court certifies the following question to the Florida Supreme Court: Does an insurance broker provide a "professional service" such that the insurance broker is unable to successfully assert the economic loss rule as a bar to tort claims seeking economic damages that arise from the contractual relationship between the insurance broker and the insured?
