Original Court Document: View Document
The Third District Court of Appeal of Florida issued an opinion on December 19, 2018, affirming a non-final order from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County. The appellant, Progressive Waste Solutions of FL, Inc., contested the ruling in favor of appellee Tavares Britt. The court found that the appellant had received actual notice of the pending lawsuit and key proceedings, including the notice of trial. Notably, there was no communication between the appellant and the appellee's counsel regarding the appellant's claims. The court distinguished this case from M.W. v. SPCP Group V, LLC, emphasizing that the judgment was not void as per the precedent set in Bank of New York Mellon v. Condominium Association of La Mer Estates, Inc. The court reiterated that a judgment is not rendered void if the court is properly organized, has subject matter jurisdiction, and the parties have had an opportunity to be heard, notwithstanding any errors or irregularities that do not amount to an illegal deprivation of that opportunity. The appeal was thus affirmed.
