(U.S. Middle District of Florida, Jul 6, 2023 – Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell, recommendation from Magistrate Judge Sansone) (granting and denying in part plaintiff’s motion to confirm the appraisal award and seeking judgment in its favor, declining to enter judgment and confirming appraisal award, holding that “ ‘[W]hen an insurer admits coverage and disputes the amount of loss,’ like here, ‘causation is to be determined by an appraisal panel’;” that is, “ ‘[T]he binding appraisal process remains enforceable while still allowing the parties to enforce such other rights as they may have under the policy.’ ”)
