DEFENDANT CAPITAL CENTER LAND CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC.’S
MOTION TO DISMISS DEFENDANT BINK, INC.’S CROSSCLAIM
Defendant, Capital Center Land Condominium Association, Inc. (“Capital Center’), by
and through undersigned counsel, hereby moves this Court for an order dismissing Defendant,
Bink, Inc.’s (“Bink”) Crossclaim, and in support thereof states as follows:
I. INTRODUCTION
1. Plaintiff filed its Complaint to Foreclose Construction Lien on May 7, 2019.
2. Capital Center was served on May 14, 2019.
3. Plaintiff filed its Amended Complaint on May 17, 2019.
4. Default against Capital Center was entered on July 3, 2019, and later vacated on
July 18, 2019.
5. Bink filed its Crossclaim to Foreclose Construction Lien on July 8, 2019.
6. Capital Center’s response is due by July 29, 2019.
Il. ARGUMENT
7. Bink seeks to foreclose a construction lien recorded against the property subject
of Plaintiff's Amended Complaint (the “Subject Property”).
8. Bink alleges that:
CCLA may claim some right, title or interest in or to the Property
sought to be foreclosed upon herein based that certain
FILED: COLLIER COUNTY, CRYSTAL K. KINZEL, CLERK, 07/29/2019 02:58:59 PMDeclaration of Condominium recorded in Official Records Book
4195, Beginning at Page 2390, in the Official Records of Collier
Count, but any such interest is inferior and subordinate to lien of
Bink sought to be foreclosed herein.
See { 19 of Bink’s Crossclaim and Counterclaim.
9. Capital Center denies that allegation based upon § 718.116(5)(a), which states
as follows:
The association has a lien on each condominium parcel to secure
the payment of assessments. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection (1) and as set forth below, the lien is effective from and
shall relate back to the recording of the original declaration of
condominium, or, in the case of lien on a parcel located in a phase
condominium, the last to occur of the recording of the original
declaration or amendment thereto creating the parcel.
10. Capital Center’s Declaration of Condominium, recorded at Official Records Book
4195, Page 2390, in the Public Records of Collier County, Florida, was recorded on March 12,
2007.
11. Pursuant to Florida Law, Capital Center’s lien against the subject property is
superior in interest to that of Bink, and Capital Center is not a proper party to the instant action.
12. Therefore, Bink’s claims against Capital Center should be dismissed with
prejudice.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Capital Center Land Condominium Association, Inc.,
respectfully requests the entry of an order dismissing Bink’s Crossclaim against Capital Center
and for such other relief as the Court deems appropriate.
