Lisa K. Eastwood v. Ocean Sounds Condominium, Inc.

Robin Harlowe (Palm Beach, FL) (D&O) obtained Summary Judgment in a condominium case. The Plaintiff, a unit owner filed suit against the Association after it entered into a bulk communications contract with Hotwire to provide cable and internet services to each unit and assess for same as a common expense. The Plaintiff alleged that the contract violated certain provisions of the Association’s By-Laws and filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. I prepared and filed a response in Opposition to the Motion arguing that Florida Statutes 718 prevailed and entitled the Association to charge the unit owners for bulk cable as a common assessment because the Governing Documents and By-laws contained Kaufman language. The Court initially granted the Plaintiff’s Motion but ultimately reversed itself after I prepared and filed a Motion for Reconsideration. The Court ultimately granted Summary Judgment on Count I in favor of the Association.
