Ethics Board Says Florida Judge Gave Staff Personal Tasks
Law360 (April 9, 2021, 4:36 PM EDT) A Miami judge is facing a possible 60-day suspension after Florida s judicial ethics commission charged him Friday with improperly having his court staff perform personal tasks and errands for him and taking more than the permitted number of vacation days by failing to notify the court of his absences.

Fla. and Okla. Courts Uphold Right to Assign Benefits
Appellate courts in Florida and Oklahoma this week upheld the right of policyholders to assign their right to collect benefits from an insurance claim to contractors, reversing trial court rulings in favor of insurers.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Wednesday reaffirmed a ruling it made in 1957: Contractual language that prohibits an insurance policy to be assigned to another does not bar a policyholder from assigning his or her right to collect from an insurance policy after a loss occurs.
The Florida 3rd District Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that an insurer cannot get around a century of case law by placing the assignment-of-benefits prohibition in the application for insurance instead of the policy. The appellate panel held that the application is part of the policy under Florida law, and courts have held since 1917 that an insurance contract cannot take away a policyholder’s right to assign benefits after a loss.
