Condo owner cannot bring claim against woman who sued him

The ruling is a procedural one, and does not address the merits of the woman’s claims.

The owner of a Westwood condominium cannot pursue breach of contract claims against a woman who has sued him for civil rights violations and a host of other claims, the state Supreme Court ruled on Thursday.

The ruling reverses a 2nd District Court of Appeal decision that allowed Curtis Olson to pursue a breach of contract claim against the woman for violating a nondisparagement clause in an agreement they had reached.
