This cause is before us on consolidated appeal from the final judgment, judgment awarding attorney fees and costs, and order compelling discovery, all for appellees (hereinafter “the Lasserres”). We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand with instructions.
On appeal, Arrigo challenges the trial court’s finding that Arrigo breached the lease, and urges various technical errors in the trial court’s final judgment. We affirm the trial court’s finding that Arrigo breached the lease, but reverse and remand with instructions that the trial court reduce the Lasserres’ damages under the lease to $30,-600 (as testified to at trial), and recalculate the prejudgment interest accordingly, without compounding interest upon interest. See Hudson Pest Control, Inc. v. Westford Asset Management, Inc.,
In accordance with the final judgment, the Lasserres filed a motion for attorney fees and costs (along with supporting affidavits), which the trial court granted in the amount of $3,100. We affirm. See generally Linn v. Linn,
However, we must reverse the order of August 23, 1994, in which the trial court granted the Lasserres’ motion to compel discovery and ordered Arrigo to pay $250 in associated attorney fees and costs. The trial court prematurely rendered that order prior to the date set for hearing, thereby depriving Arrigo an opportunity to be heard on the motion. Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.100(b) & 1.380(a).
In summary, we AFFIRM in part, REVERSE in part, and REMAND the final judgment with instructions; we AFFIRM the judgment awarding attorney fees and costs; and we REVERSE and REMAND the order granting the Lasserres’ motion to compel discovery for a hearing thereon.
