Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. v. Herbert

706 So. 2d 417, 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 2479, 1998 WL 106981

Opinion

DAUKSCH, Judge.

The same legal issue was raised in another certiorari proceeding, where this court held that in an action alleging a motor vehicle dealer’s violation of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, attorney’s fees could not be recovered from a surety bond which does not provide for such fees. The petition for writ of certiorari is therefore granted and the circuit court appellate decision is quashed. See Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. v. Hubbel, 704 So.2d 1141 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998).

QUASHED.
