Colonial Penn Insurance Co. v. Levine
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 27, 1991 · Downey, Polen, Stone
574 So. 2d 1228; 1991 Fla. App. LEXIS 1455; 1991 WL 22513 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Colonial Penn Insurance Co. v. Levine

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the final judgment and remand so that the trial court may redetermine a reasonable attorney’s fee. It is clear from the record that the trial court, without the benefit of Standard Guaranty Ins. Co. v. Quanstrom, 555 So.2d 828 (Fla. 1990), misconstrued Florida Patient’s Compensation Fund v. Rowe, 472 So.2d 1145 (Fla. 1985) in determining, reluctantly, that it was obligated to apply a multiplier *1229in computing the award. We affirm as to all other issues.

DOWNEY, STONE and POLEN, JJ., concur.
