Creed & Gowdy Prevails in Challenge to Validity of Form Arbitration Agreement

Agreeing with Creed & Gowdy's arguments, the Fifth District Court of Appeal in this decision invalidated a medical provider's form arbitration agreement as against the public policy of Florida's Medical Malpractice Act. Creed & Gowdy persuaded the Fifth District to not follow a previous decision of the Second District Court of Appeal, which had upheld the validity of the same form arbitration agreement used by the same medical provider.
