2019Ultimately, the Association dismissed its claims against all other defendants. 3 In its brief, the Association asserts it has filed, separate and apart from this appeal, an independent action against DDA Engineers. 3 Engineers mistakenly relies on Valcarcel v. Chase Bank USA NA, 54 So. 3d 989, 990 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010), which held that “[a]n order dismissing an action without prejudice and without granting leave to amend is a final appealable order.” But here, unlike in Valcarcel, the order denying the Association’s motion for leave to amend did not dismiss the action.

White Egret Condominium, Inc. v. Franklin green
fla · 1979
2 sentences

1984The obvious purpose of the provision against discrimination is to protect the unit owner who has a child living with him at the time the amendment is passed." In the same vein the cases of White Egret Condominium, Inc. v. Franklin, 379 So.2d 346 (Fla. 1979) and Star Lake North Commodore Association, Inc. v. Parker, 423 So.2d 509 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982) establish that a prohibition against children is not invalid and does not discriminate against those who buy an apartment and later have children.

1982That the Association has consistently performed its duty to enforce the mutual agreement entered into by all the unit owners, and has done so only prospectively, whereas the predecessor developer was lax in enforcing those rules, does not constitute selective and arbitrary conduct by the association in violation of the proscriptions of White Egret Condominium v. Franklin, 379 So.2d 346 (Fla. 1979).
