Allen v. Scott
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Allen v. Scott, 358 So. 2d 1112 (1978)
1978 Fla. App. LEXIS 15972
Booth, Ervin, Smith
Allen v. Scott
Opinion of the Court
Appellants Allen successfully resisted ap-pellee Scott’s claim for a mechanic’s lien, but the trial court denied the Allens’ post-trial motion for attorney’s fees. That was error. Section 713.29, Florida Statutes (1977) requires an award of reasonable fees to the prevailing party for the services of his or her attorney. Charter Development Corp. v. Eversole, 342 So.2d 143 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977). Appellants’ other point on appeal is without merit.
REVERSED and REMANDED to award appellants a reasonable fee for their attor
