It is not possible to determine if the lawsuit has any basis because you didn't provide the grounds stated in the suit. Aside from that, under Florida law there is a cause of action for interference with business relationship. Under that theory, the small customer could sue the big customer for intereference in their relationship with your company. Hopefully you have an attorney who will explain this to you in more detail and inform you of any defenses and/or additional claims your company may have available.
