Q: Hi, My son signed a contract to an Artist consulting firm. The firm refuses to give my son a copy of the contract.
Is there a Florida statute that covers this requirement.
A: I believe (WITHOUT researching the issue) that there is no statute that requires that type of private firm (that is not a lender, bank, etc.) to turn over a copy of a contract upon request from a party to the contract. However, a letter from an attorney might nevertheless produce results, especially if there is some legal issue or dispute that is arising from the contractual relationship. Also, if a lawsuit if filed for any reason, the firm must turn it over.

A:
As a general consideration, regardless of jurisdiction, such conduct would work against the party withholding the contract. Most courts would frown upon it.
