973 So. 2d 517

Angelo CROSS, Appellant, v. BRAMAN MOTORS, INC., Appellee.

No. 3D07-1334.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Dec. 19, 2007.

Rehearing Denied Jan. 30, 2008.

Stabinski & Funt, Miami; Lawrence & Daniel and Adam Lawrence, Miami, for appellant.

Richard A. Sherman Sr., Fort Lauder-dale; Bohdan Neswiacheny, Orange Park, for appellee.

Before COPE, WELLS and SALTER, JJ.

*518WELLS, Judge.

Angelo Cross appeals from an order submitting to arbitration his malicious prosecution action against his employer, Braman Motors, Inc. We reverse.

While the parties’ contract mandates arbitration for virtually all claims,1 it expressly excludes those brought under the workers’ compensation laws. Since the instant claim for malicious prosecution stems directly from Braman’s actions during the workers’ compensation case, it is not arbi-trable under the parties’ agreement.

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
