City of Miami v. Portz

Supreme Court of Florida, Special Division B
Jul 25, 1952
60 So. 2d 30 (Fla. 1952)

Opinion

July 25, 1952.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Stanley Milledge, J.

J.W. Watson, Jr., and Olavi M. Hendrickson, Miami, for appellant.

George N. Jahn and M. Dudley Burton, Miami, for Avis L. Portz.

Dixon, DeJarnette Bradford and Frank A. Howard, Jr., Miami, for Standard Accident Insurance Co., Insurer for Board of County Commissioners.

Rodney Durrance, Tallahassee, for Florida Industrial Commission.


In this case the appellee on January 25, 1952, filed a separate petition for attorney's fees in this cause, which is the appropriate practice as suggested by us in the case of Perrin v. Tanner Grocery Co., Fla., 46 So.2d 886.

At the time the case was affirmed, on April 15, 1952, and at the time the petition for rehearing was denied, on May 28, 1952, 58 So.2d 886, the motion for attorney's fees was not called to our attention.

It appears that the attorney for the claimant represented him before this Court and thoroughly briefed the case.

The sum of $300 is a reasonable fee to be allowed and such sum is hereby fixed by the Court and ordered to be paid by the appellant.

SEBRING, C.J., and TERRELL, ROBERTS, and MATHEWS, JJ., concur.
