Olen Properties Corp. v. Rebecca Cancel, 178 So. 3d 437 (2015)

2015 Fla. App. LEXIS 14923; 2015 WL 5836043

Gross, Taylor, Shepherd, Caroline

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

In this sex discrimination and retaliation case, we reverse the $700,000 award of non-economic damages as excessive. See City of Hollywood v. Hogan, 986 So.2d 634 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008); see also § 768.74(5), Fla. Stat. (2013). We remand for the trial court to determine a remittitur amount, or to order a new trial on non-economic damages if the party adversely affected by the remittitur does not agree to the remitted amount. See § 768.74(4), Fla. Stat. (2013).

We affirm on all other issues raised in this appeal.

Affirmed in part, Reversed in part, and Remanded for further proceedings.

GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ, and SHEPHERD, CAROLINE, Associate Judge, concur.
