Summary
In Perez we found that a judgment establishing liability but not determining or fixing a monetary amount of damages was merely an expectancy and therefore did not constitute a cognizable lien.
Summary of this case from Penzell v. M M Const. Group Corp.Opinion
No. 81-562.
March 30, 1982.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Herbert M. Klein, J.
Horton, Perse Ginsberg and Arnold R. Ginsberg, Ratiner Glinn, Miami, for appellant.
Lyons Smith and Allen Kominsky, Miami, John Kirk McDonald, Coral Gables, and Claudia B. Greenberg, Miami, for appellees.
Before SCHWARTZ, NESBITT and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.
Like the threat of a lawsuit or the filing of a complaint, a judgment establishing liability but not determining or fixing any monetary amount of damages does not constitute a cognizable lien pursuant to Section 55.10, Florida Statutes (1979). It is simply an expectancy.
Affirmed.
