Ayer v. Bush
Ayer v. Bush
Opinion of the Court
Appellants, Robert and Audree Ayer, appeal a final judgment in favor of Melvin Bush ordering the Ayers to pay attorney’s fees and convey property. This is actually the fourth time this case has been before this court.
After remand from the last appeal, the trial court complied with our directions, but then several months later a successor judge entered an additional final judgment consolidating the various judgments and offsetting the attorney’s fees award against the purchase price.
. The other appeals are: Ayer v. Bush, 857 So.2d 276 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003); Ayer v. Bush, 775 So.2d 368 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000); and Bush v. Ayer, 728 So.2d 799 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999).
. Both the third amended final judgment and the consolidated judgment were later re-entered when it was discovered that the mandate from our court had never been issued after the prior appeal. This does not affect the result in this case.
