Rudy v. Merchants & Southern Bank
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 15, 2004 · Allen, Benton, Davis
890 So. 2d 1152; 2004 Fla. App. LEXIS 19093; 2004 WL 2964720 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Rudy v. Merchants & Southern Bank

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The appellant challenges an attorney’s fee and costs award which was made under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.442 and section 768.79, Florida Statutes, based on the appellant’s failure to accept a joint proposal for settlement offered by the ap-pellees. However, the proposal did not state the settlement amount attributable to each of the appellees, as required under rule 1.442(c)(3) and Willis Shaw Express v. Hilyer Sod, 849 So.2d 276 (Fla. 2003). The appealed order is therefore reversed.

ALLEN, DAVIS and BENTON, JJ., concur.
