Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 28, 2006 · Gross, Klein, Warner
933 So. 2d 1202; 2006 Fla. App. LEXIS 10669; 2006 WL 1749932 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Kovack Securities, Inc. v. Bailey

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. Attorney’s fees in litigation may be awarded only where there is a contractual or statutory provision permitting such fees. See Florida Patient’s Comp. Fund v. Rowe, 472 So.2d 1145, 1148 (Fla. 1985), modified by, Standard Guar. Ins. Co. v. Quanstrom, 555 So.2d 828 (Fla. 1990). The parties do not create an implied contract for an award of attorney’s fees merely because each party requests an award of fees from the tribunal, where no contract or statute otherwise supports an award.

WARNER, KLEIN and GROSS, JJ., concur.
