2022It appears from the record that West’s cross claim against co-defendant Black Rain Capital Investment LLC (“Black Rain”) remains pending and unadjudicated. 2 summary foreclosure judgment. 2 While we have held that a trial court reversibly errs when its denial of a motion to assert a compulsory counterclaim leaves a defendant without a remedy, Fuente v. S. Ocean Transport, Inc., 933 So. 2d 651, 654 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006), we also have held that a trial court does not abuse its discretion by denying a motion to amend pleadings when the motion was filed shortly before a summary judgment hearing.

1982At the outset we are surprised by a paucity of Florida case law which flatly tells us whether or not cross claims against co-defendants require service by summons, although an old Supreme Court holding in Lovett v. Lovett, 112 So. 768, 775, 776 (Fla. 1927) might appear to prescribe it.
