Bunis v. North Bay Village Jewish Center, Inc.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 27, 1995 · Baskin, Green, Nesbitt
661 So. 2d 335; 1995 Fla. App. LEXIS 10224; 1995 WL 567388 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Bunis v. North Bay Village Jewish Center, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

That portion of the final order which awarded attorney’s fees to Gabriel Nash-Tessler must be reversed for failure of any pleading ever filed on her behalf to make such a claim or request. Stockman v. Downs, 573 So.2d 835 (Fla. 1991). Because the same order otherwise made explicit findings that Ms. Nash-Tessler acted utterly without foundation or legal authority in bringing the action, it follows that she was not the prevailing party and was not entitled to reimbursement for costs.

Reversed.
