State Dep't of Ins., 631 So.2d 1112, 1116 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994) ). See also Zayas–Bazan v. Marcelin, 40 So.3d 870 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (holding petitioner waived right to seek disqualification of opposing party's counsel by failing to promptly move for disqualification upon learning of the facts leading to the alleged conflict); Information Sys. Assocs. v. Phuture World, Inc., 106 So.3d 982 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013) (granting petition for writ of certiorari and quashing order revoking pro hac vice status of petitioner's counsel where respondent waited to file motion until nine months after learning of facts in support of motion).
