State, Department of Revenue ex rel. Bragg v. Bragg
Florida District Courts of Appeal
State, Department of Revenue ex rel. Bragg v. Bragg, 670 So. 2d 77 (1996)
Ervin, Mickle, Miner
State, Department of Revenue ex rel. Bragg v. Bragg
Opinion of the Court
We reverse the trial court’s order imposing a $3,100 fine for appellant’s failure to timely pay $10.52 in accrued interest. AppeEant paid all other required sums, and the fine was not employed to compensate appeEee for losses she sustained or to coerce appeUant into compliance with a previously issued order. See Johnson v. Bednar, 573 So.2d 822, 824 (Fla. 1991). The imposition of the fine in this case, therefore, constitutes an abuse of discretion.
REVERSED.
