Summary:

In Dade County, Comptech sued for economic losses when its landlord constructed an addition to the building it had leased and the contractor allegedly damaged Comptech's computers. The Third District court said the claim was barred because Comptech failed to negotiate a remedy for such a claim in its lease. In Putnam County, Mr. & Mrs. Carl Stallings sued an electrician hired by their contractor for economic losses caused by negligently installing wiring in their new home. The Fifth District Court said the claim was not barred. The Supreme Court accepted the cases to resolve any conflicts between them.
