Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
HELP!!! Can I File a Motion for Rehearing?
I had to sue my FL condo assoc in 2004 for failure to repair & maintain. Reached a mediated settlement agreement in Aug 2005, which the assoc has badly breached. today i'm about ready to file a pro se motion to enforce the settlement agreement, & i discovered from the public record that just 3 days ago my attorney (who hasn't talked to me since the mediated settlement agreement was signed almost 2 yrs ago!) and the opposing counsel signed a joint stipulation to dismiss my case with prejudice!!! Can I file a motion for rehearing to throw out the dismissal and reopen the case? I can't believe that attorney assumed he still represented me and could speak for me after no contact for 2 years!!!

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
It depends on the date it was signed and filed with the court. At the least, I believe that the court may entertain a status conference if you write to the Judge and explain your thoughts.
