Pacific National Equity Co. v. Montgomery
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Pacific National Equity Co. v. Montgomery, 367 So. 2d 729 (1979)
1979 Fla. App. LEXIS 14109
Dauksch, Downey, Letts
Pacific National Equity Co. v. Montgomery
Opinion of the Court
This cause is affirmed with the exception of the award of $809.99 described as “job connected expenses.”
The contract between the parties provided for payment by one of two methods:
(1) Cost, plus 125%, plus job connected expenses or, if less
(2) $15,000.00 total.
The trial court in this case found the second method to be applicable and with this we have no quarrel. However, the lower court also included $809.99 of job related expenses. This was error.
The cause is remanded with direction to the trial court to modify the final judgment by eliminating the award of $809.99 for job connected expenses and as so modified the final judgment is affirmed.
AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.
