Caduceus Properties sued the architect who had worked on its property, alleging he had installed a defective heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. The architect sued Mr. Graney, the engineer who had designed the system. The trial court then allowed Caduceus Properties to sue Mr. Graney also. But the First District Court of Appeal reversed the trial court and held that the Caduceus Properties' claims against Mr. Graney did not relate back under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.190(c), and therefore the claims were barred by the statute of limitations. Justice Polston is recused. Leon Count
