Granada Lakes Villas Condominium Ass'n v. Metro-Dade Investments Co.

Granada Lakes Villas Condominium Association (“Granada”) argues that the Second District Court of Appeal in Metro-Dade Investments, Co. v. Granada Lakes Villas Condominium, Inc., 74 So.3d 593 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011), erred because sections 617.1432, 718.117, and 718.1124, Florida Statutes (2010), restrict a trial court’s inherent, equitable authority to appoint a receiver in an action involving a condominium association.1 For the reasons expressed below, we approve the Second District’s holding that these statutes do not restrict a trial court’s equitable authority to appoint a receiver.
