Masney Auto Transport, Inc. v. Shipper's Transport Co.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 29, 2011 · Griffin, Orfinger, Sawaya
59 So. 3d 357; 2011 Fla. App. LEXIS 6040; 2011 WL 1597673 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Masney Auto Transport, Inc. v. Shipper's Transport Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Masney Auto Transport, Inc. [“Mas-ney”] obtained a judgment against Shipper’s Transport Company [“Shipper’s”] and now appeals the order denying Mas-ney’s motion for attorney’s fees and the order striking Masney’s claim for prejudgment interest. Masney correctly contends that the trial court erred by striking its claim for pre-judgment interest on the $155,399.00 of past, out-of-pocket, lost profits damages that the jury’s verdict liquidated. See Bosem v. Musa Holdings, Inc., 46 So.3d 42 (Fla. 2010). The trial court’s order denying Masney’s motion for attorney’s fees incurred due to Shipper’s refusals to admit certain of Masney’s requests for admissions is affirmed without discussion.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part.

GRIFFIN, SAWAYA and ORFINGER, JJ., concur.
