Florida Auto. Dealers Self-Insurers Fund v. Plantation AMC/JEEP, Inc.

566 So.2d 558, 15 Fla. L. Week. D2103, (Fla.App. 4 Dist., Aug 15, 1990)

The self-insured fund had denied a defense in an action that alleged wrongful discharge of an employee in violation of Section 440.205, Florida Statutes. Court determined that fund had the responsibility to provide a defense and awarded attorney's fees. The award of attorney's fees was reversed on appeal since the self-insurance fund did not qualify as an insurer under Section 627.428, Florida Statutes. Question certified to Supreme Court.
