MIAMI – One day after a closing date to vacate the Virginia Key assets got here and went, Miami-Dade County despatched an eviction notice to the owners of the Miami Seaquarium on Monday.
The notice, addressed to Eduardo Albor, the president of the Dolphin Company, states that on account of the corporate’s “failure and refusal to surrender and deliver possession of the Property in a timely manner, (the county) hereby provides notice of its intention to promptly pursue an eviction action to remove Tenant from the Property.”
“GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY,” the temporary notice concludes, in bolded, all-caps textual content.
The county moved to eject the Dolphin Company from the valuables amid officers’ issues over documented animal welfare problems on the park, amongst different issues.
It issued a hire termination notice March 7. During a news convention later on, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava known as the Seaquarium’s present state “unsustainable and unsafe” and stated the location on the marine park was once “dire.”
The Dolphin Company, which has defended its stewardship of the marine park, introduced plans to defy an eviction Friday with a federal lawsuit. It seeks $35 million in damages whilst claiming an eviction is being compelled with no “lawful plan” for the animals.
The park was once running as standard Monday.
Legal analyst David Weinstein, who’s no longer concerned within the case, advised Local 10 News on Friday, after the lawsuit was once filed, that the litigation “will put a temporary hold on any eviction proceedings and will likely result in a hearing” in federal courtroom at the restraining order sought by means of Seaquarium control.
Levine Cava and County Commissioner Raquel Regalado, whose district comprises the Seaquarium, issued a joint observation throughout the county Monday reiterating their causes for finishing the hire, pronouncing the grounds to terminate it have been “still present” and that the county is continuing “to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the animals currently under (the Seaquarium)’s care.”
“It is our hope that the Dolphin Company takes the necessary steps to vacate the premises, and to ensure that the transition is done in a safe and orderly manner, especially for the animals under their care,” the observation reads. “If they fail to do so, the County will move forward with the eviction process in court.”
Local 10 News has contacted the Miami Seaquarium searching for remark at the eviction notice.
