Opinion
No. 81-1797.
October 12, 1982. Rehearing Denied December 1, 1982.
Appeal from Circuit Court, Dade County; Francis X. Knuck, Judge.
Joe N. Unger, Robert M. Sussman, Miami, for appellants.
Henderson Willing and David L. Willing, Miami, for appellee.
Before BARKDULL, SCHWARTZ and JORGENSON, JJ.
We reverse the order granting a new trial after the appellant, as plaintiff in the trial court, refused to remit 50% of a jury verdict in the amount of $154,617. Adams v. Wright, 403 So.2d 391 (Fla. 1981); Bould v. Touchette, 349 So.2d 1181 (Fla. 1977); Orlando Executive Park, Inc. v. P.D.R., 402 So.2d 442 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981); Kasper Instruments, Inc. v. Maurice, 394 So.2d 1125 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981); Gulf Life Insurance Company v. McGabe, 363 So.2d 846 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978).
Therefore the order granting a new trial is reversed with directions to reinstate the jury verdict and enter a final judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
Reversed and remanded with directions.
