Florida Construction Law

In Rodriguez v. Builders Firstsource , 26 So.3d 679 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010), the Court held that arbitration provisions in construction contracts that specifically reference the arbitration of issues pertaining to construction were broad enough to allow for the arbitration of mold claims.  This case contradicts other cases holding that mold claims are not arbitrable.
