Lynda Weatherman, EDC president and CEO, said that because of the complex nature of the case, the EDC board of directors thought it deserves a thorough due diligence process, including filing the appeal to the Fifth District Court.

The lawsuit was brought by Brevard County Clerk of the Circuit Court Scott Ellis. The Clerk has filed its Notice of Cross Appeal to the Fifth District Court of Appeal. The basis for the Clerk’s cross appeal is the Judge Moxley’s denial of attorney’s fees to the Clerk.
