Dr. Joseph Webster appeals the grant of a motion for summary judgment in favor of Tallahassee Memorial Hospital (TMH). The lower court granted the motion for summary judgment because Websters claim was barred by the statute of limitations, laches, and waiver.
Webster argues many issues, but the only issue properly on appeal is his claim for breach of contract. The lower court determined that the breach occurred in 2012. Webster contends that TMH had been in breach since 1980. But Webster did not file his breach of contract action until 2018. The dispute is of little consequence because the five-year statute of limitations barred Websters claim under either date. § 95.11(2)(b), Fla. Stat. (2015). Because there is no genuine issue of material fact on this dispositive issue, the lowercourt properly granted summary judgment in favor of TMH.
We grant TMHs motion for attorneys’ fees and remand to the trial court for the determination of a reasonable amount.
Affirmed.
