Opinion
No. 80-918.
December 31, 1980.
Appeal from Circuit Court, Martin County; L.B. Vocelle, Judge.
Martha C. Warner, of Warner, Fox Seeley, Chartered, Stuart, for appellant.
James L.S. Bowdish, of Crary, Buchanan Meginniss, Chartered, Stuart, for appellee.
REVERSED. The appellant was convicted of criminal contempt. Upon review of the record it is our conclusion that the uncontradicted evidence presented by the appellant at the contempt hearing precluded a finding of willful criminal contempt. In addition, we believe the trial court erred in assessing attorney's fees against the appellant. Accordingly, the judgment of contempt and order assessing attorney's fees are reversed.
LETTS, C.J., and ANSTEAD and MOORE, JJ., concur.
