<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Good morning, colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">It appears that the assignment of insurance benefits matter has morphed beyond the passage of House Bill 7065 (Florida Statute Section 627.7152),
with all its attendant construction contract drafting problems. Yesterday, one of my clients, a roofing contractor, advised that it discovered that two apparently unaffiliated property insurance companies have placed a provision in their policies that requires
its insured property owner to use a contractor approved by the carrier. Upon further inquiry, my client determined that the contractor mandated by one of the carriers was a national company. Of course my thoughts immediately turned negative, thinking of conspiracy
and restraint of trade implications.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
