Hold & Hooker, Inc. v. Barcelona West Investors, Ltd.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District

565 So. 2d 917 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 88-2296.

August 30, 1990.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County; Lawrence R. Kirkwood, Judge.

David H. Simmons and Michael A. Romano of Drage, deBeaubien, Knight Simmons, Orlando, for appellant/cross-appellee.

Lawrence G. Matthews and Mary M. Wills of Smith, Mackinnon, Mathews, Harris Christiansen, P.A., Orlando, for appellee/cross-appellant Southwest Realty, Ltd.


This is an appeal from an order granting the appellee a new trial and a cross-appeal from a judgment awarding the appellant compensatory and punitive damages for breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation. Because the evidence at trial was legally insufficient to prove either of those claims, the damages award is reversed. The appeal concerning the order awarding the new trial is moot.

The order granting a new trial is quashed and the judgment is reversed.

REVERSED.

DAUKSCH, COWART and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
