Opinion
No. 87-2530.
February 22, 1989.
Appeal and cross appeal from the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County; Walter N. Colbath, Judge.
Jeff M. Brown and Larry E. Schner of Lavalle, Wochna, Rutherford Brown, P.A., Boca Raton, for appellants/cross appellees.
Louisa Smith-Adam of Montgomery, Searcy Denney, P.A., and Philip M. Burlington of Edna L. Caruso, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee/cross appellant.
Affirmed; however, we find error in the trial court's refusal to include prejudgment interest on the $125,000.00 award and we remand with directions to compute and award prejudgment interest. See Argonaut Insurance Co. v. May Plumbing Co., 474 So.2d 212 (Fla. 1985); Law v. Blue Lagoon-Pompano, Inc., 470 So.2d 33 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985).
HERSEY, C.J., and FRANK, RICHARD H., Associate Judge, concur.
STONE, J., dissents with opinion.
I dissent because I consider the damages to be speculative and because the lower court applied the wrong measure of damages.
