A three-judge panel of the Third District Court of Appeal in Miami sanctioned Grumer & Macaluso managing partner Keith T. Grumer and associate Jason N. Goldman for filing a frivolous appeal.
The penalty, to be set later, will be half of Lennar’s attorney fees on the issue. The court also referred the attorneys to The Florida Bar for possible disciplinary action.
