An Appeal from a non-final order from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County Lower Tribunal No. 20-13091, David C. Miller, Judge.

Before FERNANDEZ, C.J., and LOGUE and BOKOR, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

A party may waive its contractual right to arbitration by participating in litigation concerning an arbitrable issue. See Fine Decorators, Inc. v. Argent Glob. (Bermuda), Ltd., 919 So.2d 604, 605-06 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006). "Waiver in this connection does not depend on timing of the motion to compel arbitration . . . but rather on the prior taking of an inconsistent position by the party moving therefor." Ojus Indus., Inc. v. Mann, 221 So.2d 780, 782 (Fla. 3d DCA 1969).

Affirmed.
