Our work on filing an Amicus Brief in City of Palm Bay v. Wells Fargo (regarding the priority of code enforcement liens) was acknowledged before the RPPTL executive council at their Marco Island meeting this weekend.   I’d like to again repeat my thanks to Homer Duvall of Fidelity National Title who served as co-counsel on this, and to our members Marty Awerbach and Rod Neumann for their technical guidance.  Here’s the background on FLTA’s involvement.

In light of some of the issues raised in our brief regarding the ambiguity between s. 695.01 and s. 695.11, the RPPTL Problem Studies Committee (whose Vice-Chair is our past President, Pat Hancock) have appointed a subcommittee to evaluate whether some statutory clarification is appropriate or desirable.
