PER CURIAM. Affirmed. Paradise Plaza Condo. Ass’n Inc. v. Reinsurance Corp. of
New York, 685 So. 2d 937, 941 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996) (“All in all, we believe
that the issue of the order in which the issues of damages and coverage
are to be determined respectively by arbitration and the court should be left
within the discretion of the trial judge…. In exercising that discretion, the
trial court may consider all of the elements to which we have referred,
including the costs involved and the relative importance and viability of the
damages and the coverage issues, respectively. In this instance, we find
no abuse of discretion in the order for appraisal to proceed first.”); see also

2010) (affirming Paradise Plaza’s holding that “it is the law in our district
that the order in which the issues of damages and coverage are to be
determined by arbitration and the court is left to the discretion of the trial
court”).
