South Seas lost its claim that CCA was deceptive in its Legal Update when it stated that the 912-unit limit in the 2003 Settlement Agreement included hotel units. On Sept. 1, Judge Shenko granted CCA’s Motion for Summary Judgment, finding that CCA’s statement was not unfair or deceptive under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA), and was a good faith interpretation of prior sworn testimony and Court decisions. CCA always believed the lawsuit was without merit, and CCA’s motion for sanctions and attorneys’ fees remains pending.
