Yachtbrasil Motor Boats & Charters, LLC v. Gluck , 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 8530 ( 2014 )

SUAREZ, J.

YachtBrasil Motor Boats & Charters LLC, and Aderbal Coelho, Junior appeal the trial court’s Order Granting Sanctions dated June 5, 2013 striking YachtBrasil’s answers and affirmative defenses and dismissing YachtBrasil’s counterclaim with prejudice. Although these are severe sanctions, we find the trial court did not abuse its discretion and find that each of the elements of Kozel v. Ostendorf, 629 So.2d 817 (Fla.1993) is supported by the evidence.

Affirmed.
