Summary
denying award of attorney's fees after discharge of lis pendens, based on lack of statutory authority
Summary of this case from S and T Builders v. Globe PropertiesOpinion
No. 84-868.
December 4, 1984.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Dick C.P. Lantz, J.
Koppen Watkins and George J. Lott, Miami, for appellants.
Norman Malinski, Miami, for appellees.
Before BARKDULL, BASKIN and JORGENSON, JJ.
After the trial court discharged a lis pendens, it assessed attorney's fees in favor of the property owner. We find this error, there being no specific authority in the statutes providing for such fees. Section 48.23(3), Florida Statutes (1983). Therefore we reverse such order. See Kittel v. Kittel, 210 So.2d 1 (Fla. 1968).
Reversed and remanded.
