Description
This cause is before the Court on petition to review Lane v. Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., 540 So.2d 922 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989), in which the Third District Court of Appeal held that the limitations period for a cause of action for accounting malpractice commenced when the United States Tax Court entered judgment against the Lanes, rather than when the Internal Revenue Services ninety-day deficiency notice was received by them. In so holding, the Third District Court reversed a summary judgment entered by the trial court in favor of the accounting firm of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. (Peat Marwick), and it certified conflict with the Second District Court of Appeals decision in Sawyer v. Earle, 541 So.2d 1232 (Fla. 2d DCA), cause dismissed, 545 So.2d 1368 (Fla. 1989). We have jurisdiction,{/Cite} and we approve the decision of the Third District Court of Appeal.
