Morejon v. Metropolitan Dade County

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
May 20, 1998
710 So. 2d 233 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1998)

Opinion

Nos. 97-1632, 97-1407

Opinion filed May 20, 1998. JANUARY TERM, A.D. 1998

Appeals from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Celeste Hardee Muir, Judge. L.T. No. 95-6426.

R. A. Nunez; Il Young Choi and Dorothy F. Easley, for appellant/cross-appellee.

Robert A. Ginsburg, County Attorney and Jason Bloch and Thomas A. Tucker Ronzetti, Assistant County Attorneys, for appellee/cross-appellant.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT, SHEVIN, JJ.


No harmful error has been demonstrated in either of the plaintiff-appellant's points challenging the judgment entered on the jury verdict below. On cross-appeal, however, we find no cognizable basis for the denial of the defendant's motion for attorney's fees and costs under section 768.79, Florida Statutes (1997). See Pennsylvania Lumbermens Mut. Ins. Co. v. Sunrise Club, Inc., ___ So.2d ___ (Fla. 3d DCA Case Nos. 97-329 96-3080 96-3081, opinion filed, April 22, 1998) [23 FLW D1019], and cases cited. That order is therefore reversed and the cause remanded solely to determine those amounts.
