What Happened: A fitness center asked its landlord to refund the rent it paid during the 15 weeks that it couldn’t operate because government COVID-19 shutdown orders were in effect. The landlord refused. So, the tenant sued. Both sides moved for summary judgment—that is, a ruling on the merits of the case without a trial. The court granted the landlord’s motion and denied the tenant’s.
Ruling: The Florida appeals court rejected the tenant’s appeal.
