Affirmed. See Montero v. Compugraphic Corp., 531 So.2d 1034, 1036 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988) (stating that: “A litigant cannot, in the course of litigation, occupy inconsistent and contradictory positions. Rigg v. Vernell, 428 So.2d 668 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982); Federated Mut. Implement & Hardware Ins. Co. v. Griffin, 237 So.2d 38 (Fla. 1st DCA 1970), cert. denied, 240 So.2d 641 (Fla.1970).”).
