Sachs v. Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
Aug 20, 1991
584 So. 2d 211 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 91-920.

August 20, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Joan A. Lenard, J.

Duckworth, Allen, Dyer Doppelt, Orlando, for appellant.

Broome, Kelley Aldrich, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Before NESBITT, JORGENSON and COPE, JJ.


Shirley Sachs, who procured a favorable arbitration award, was denied attorney's fees by the arbiters. She filed a petition for the fees, which the trial court dismissed. We affirm that order. Sachs neither moved to vacate, see § 682.13(2), Fla. Stat. (1989), nor moved to modify, see § 682.14, Fla. Stat. (1989), the arbitration award within the 90-day period after delivery of a copy of the award to her as prescribed by the Florida Arbitration Code. Furthermore, she did not make allegations upon which an extension of the 90-day requirement could be based. See § 682.13(2), Fla. Stat. (1989); Carpet Concepts St. Petersburg, Inc. v. Architectural Concepts, Inc., 559 So.2d 303 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990).

Affirmed.
