Burling v. Department of Revenue of Florida
Opinion of the Court
We affirm the award of attorney’s fees but reverse the judgment for damages and remand with directions that judgment be entered for $3,000.00 plus legal interest. We find that the maximum damages proven for the civil theft claim were in the amount of $1,000.00. Accordingly, the maximum amount of damages recoverable under the civil theft statute is three times that amount, or $3,000.00.
