370 So. 2d 376 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1979
Rehearing
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
This Court issued its opinion on March 28, 1979, wherein an award of compensatory damages was affirmed. Appellant has filed
CROSS, MOORE and BERANEK, JJ., concur.
Lead Opinion
This is a consolidated appeal involving an interlocutory appeal in Case No. 76-1825, and a plenary appeal in Case No. 77-2023. Appellant/defendant seeks reversal of a final judgment entered in favor of plaintiff for both compensatory and punitive damages. We find appellant has failed to demonstrate reversible error regarding compensatory damages and therefore affirm the judgment in this respect.
The judgment awarding punitive damages is hereby reversed based upon our decision in the interlocutory appeal taken in this same case on which a petition for rehearing has now been denied.
The matter is remanded for further proceedings consistent herewith.
