331 So. 2d 341 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1976)

Opinion

No. 74-1041.

April 14, 1976.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Hillsborough County, Phillip L. Knowles, J.

David A. Maney, of Gordon Maney, Tampa, for appellant.

Richard J. Salem, of Salem Salem, Tampa, former atty. for appellee.

David Luther Woodward, of Rose Woodward, Tampa, present atty. for appellee.


In this appeal from an award of attorney fees, we find no reversible error in the amount of the fee; however, the record does disclose that it would work a hardship upon the appellant to pay the fee in a lump sum. Therefore, the case is remanded with directions to allow the appellant a one-year period in which to pay the attorney fee in full. In all other respects the judgment is affirmed.

McNULTY, C.J., and SCHEB, J., concur.
