Florida Department of Insurance v. Florida Bankers' Ass'n
799 So. 2d 353; 2001 Fla. App. LEXIS 15631; 2001 WL 1356555
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Florida Department of Insurance v. Florida Bankers' Ass'n
Opinion of the Court
Appellant Florida Department of Insurance appeals an award of attorney’s fees and costs to appellees. We find no error, except that $17,000 of the amount awarded for Dr. White’s expert witness fee was not supported by competent substantial evidence. The expert witness, who testified to the reasonableness of fee, stated that he had no itemized basis for $17,000 worth of Dr. White’s fee.
Accordingly, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand with instructions to reduce the amount of the award of fees and costs by $17,000.
