ANSTEAD, Judge,
dissenting.
By sworn affidavit, the appellant has created an issue of fact as to whether the arbitration provision of the parties’ contract was subsequently waived in writing. Accordingly, I would hold that the trial court erred in failing to conduct an eviden-tiary hearing on the arbitration issue in accord with our holding in Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. v. Melamed, 425 So.2d 127 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982), rev. denied, 433 So.2d 519 (Fla.1983).
