Opinion
No. 85-1694.
April 8, 1986.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Phillip W. Knight, Judge.
Winitz Kolsky, James C. Blecke, Miami, for appellant.
Preddy, Kutner, Hardy, Rubinoff, Brown Thompson and G. William Bissett, Miami, for appellee.
Before BASKIN, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.
Finding no merit in appellee's contention that appellant's settlement with the defunct insurer prior to the insurer's insolvency was not a "covered claim," we reverse with directions for entry of final judgment in favor of appellant. §§ 631.54(3), 631.57, Fla. Stat. (1983); see Martino v. Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, 383 So.2d 942 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980).
Reversed and remanded with directions.
