"The Times... They Are A-Changin'..."
By: Partner, Brian Hess
Condo Association Board Members may now face recall without the ability to arbitrate the recall process conducted by owners.
In early September, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares
and Mobile Homes, issued a Final Order of Dismissal in the recall arbitration case of Sunbrook Condominium Association, Inc. v. Unit Owners Voting For Recall. This particular case was the first test of the new changes to Section 718.112(2)(j), which severely limited the right of condominium association Board members to challenge recall efforts by unit owners.

Annual Meeting Package Service
Holding an annual meeting of the membership for the purpose of electing directors/officers is an important requirement of your Governing Documents, as well as a statutory requirement of Florida Law for all Associations. We are pleased to offer our Annual Meeting Package Service. We will prepare the necessary documents for your Association's Annual Meeting. Properly prepared documents, coupled with legal advice of the correct procedures, times, and wording that must be followed by your Association, can avoid election and Annual Meeting challenges. While professionally managed communities enjoy this package, it is ideal for self-managed Associations! If you are expecting a problematic Annual Meeting, request one of our attorneys or Director of Public Relations to attend your annual meeting to assist you.
