Request for Copy of Bond

If the claimant requested a copy of the bond from the contractor or owner and did not receive one, then the claimant may have rights against them for failure to provide a copy, but that will not excuse the claimant’s failure to timely perfect its claim against the surety.  Mursten Const. Co. v. C.E.S. Industries, Inc., 588 So. 2d 1061 (Fla. 3d DCA 1991).  (RPPTL Subcommittee).
