Florida Civil Remedy Notice Insurer Violation Holding: "Sufficiently Specific" Requirement.

   In a recent decision, Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal addressed the mandatory requirement that a Civil Remedy Notice of Insurer Violation is a condition precedent and must be "sufficiently specific" to comply with Florida's Bad Faith Statute, Section 624.155:

   We reverse the final summary judgment in favor of the appellee on the appellant's bad faith claim only, and remand to the circuit court for the entry of a final judgment dismissing the bad faith claim without prejudice for failing to file a sufficiently specific civil remedy notice complying with section 624.155(3)(a), Florida Statutes (2004).
