The remand is a procedural win for MasTec, returning the case to a potentially more favorable state forum. Monitor the state-court proceedings for substantive rulings on the R&W insurance coverage dispute, as an adverse coverage determination could represent a material financial loss relative to the Henkels acquisition.

Executive Summary
The District Court for the Southern District of Florida granted MasTec's motion to remand this insurance coverage dispute to state court, finding that the defendant insurers failed to obtain unanimous consent for removal and that consent was untimely. The ruling is procedural — it does not resolve the underlying coverage dispute over MasTec's R&W insurance policy for its Henkels & McCoy acquisition, but it returns the case to the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County.
