Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal reversed and remanded an “absurd result” that followed a trial court’s ruling denying a motion to offset a larger judgment in its favor of a smaller judgment in another case.

“It’s not every day that an appellate court reverses two judges with one opinion,” Jose Ferrer, a Mark Migdal & Hayden partner, said about the ruling in favor of his client, Miami-Dade College, against Nader + Museu I LLLP. “Florida courts will act to prevent absurd results, such as when an insolvent judgment debtor seeks to collect a competing judgment from the judgment creditor.”
