Opinion
No. 86-2596.
August 11, 1987. Rehearing Denied September 21, 1987.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Richard S. Fuller, Judge.
Greenfield Duval and Harvie Duval, North Miami, for appellant, cross-appellee.
Neil A. Shanzer, Miami, for appellee, cross-appellant.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J. and HUBBART and JORGENSON, JJ.
Our review of the record reveals no evidence which justifies an award of punitive damages, see 17 Fla.Jur.2d Damages §§ 117, 121 (1980); the judgment under review shall therefore be reduced by the amount of those damages, $2,500, after remand. We conclude on the other hand that the $8,100 in compensatory damages (plus pre-judgment interest) is sustained by the record and that no harmful, preserved error, see Gould v. National Bank of Florida, 421 So.2d 798 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982); Keyes Co. v. Rocky Graziani, Inc., 406 So.2d 100 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981), with respect to this issue has been demonstrated on appeal or cross-appeal. Accordingly, the judgment is otherwise affirmed.
Affirmed as modified.
