Steel Fabricators, Inc. v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co.

445 So. 2d 1149, 1984 Fla. App. LEXIS 12210

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED. We do not believe the appellant has demonstrated error in the trial court’s entry of summary judgment essentially predicated upon a previously entered arbitration award and judgment entered thereon which specifically denied a claim that appellant now contends was really granted by the arbitrators but used as a setoff against claims made against the appellant in the arbitration proceedings. We have been cited no authority that would allow a trial court in a collateral proceeding to impeach findings of an arbitration panel that have been subsequently judicially approved.

ANSTEAD, C.J., and DOWNEY and GLICKSTEIN, JJ., concur.
