  Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm
Beach County; Cymonie S. Rowe, Judge; L.T. Case No. 50-2014-CA-
010389-XXXX-MB.

   Angelo Marino, Jr. and William H. Brennan, III of Angelo Marino, Jr.,
P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

  Thomas Regnier of Tom Regnier Appeals, P.A., Sunrise, for appellee
Raul Hernandez Fabian.

PER CURIAM.

   Rene Mantilla appeals an order granting summary judgment in favor of
Raul Hernandez Fabian. Mantilla and Fabian jointly owned a business,
and Mantilla eventually sold his fifty percent interest to Fabian. Mantilla
later sued Fabian and other defendants alleging fraud in the inducement
of the sale documents, among other claims. The trial court granted
summary judgment based on a release executed at the time of the sale.
We reverse.

   “[O]ur supreme court has spoken clearly that no contract provision can
preclude rescission on the basis of fraud in the inducement unless the
contract provision explicitly states that fraud is not a ground for
rescission.” Lower Fees, Inc. v. Bankrate, Inc., 

, 520 (Fla. 4th
DCA 2011) (citing Oceanic Villas, Inc. v. Godson, 

, 690 (Fla.
1941)). Because the release at issue does not “specifically and explicitly
negate[] the right to bring” a fraudulent inducement claim, we reverse and
remand for further proceedings. See 

remanded for further proceedings.

CIKLIN, GERBER and FORST, JJ., concur.

                          *        *        *

   Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
