[CLC-Discussion] Repeal of Section 627.428

[RPPTL CLC-Discussion]

Section 627.756 was amended to add back the right to recover fees which used to be in Section 627.428 as far as claims against a surety.  As far as the other insurance issues raised below, I cannot comment.

Subject: [CLC-Discussion] Repeal of Section 627.428

So how did this repeal of 627.428 fly under the radar?... I don't recall any discussion on this in our meeting or in Orlando in March... appears to affect performance bond claims, all first party coverage claims demanding liability coverage or defense from carriers, etc... I think we need someone knowledgeable to inform our members of the effect of this repeal on construction claims and practices...
