v.
CHARLES T. HUTCHINS, ET AL., APPELLEES

Fla. 5th DCA | 1987-04-16
No. 85-1834
ORFINGER, SHARP and COWART, JJ., concur.
508 So. 2d 391 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (1987) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

From the record we find evidence upon which the jury could have based its verdict for $30,000 compensatory damages on the appellee’s claim for malicious interference with a business relationship. However, the evidence is legally insufficient to support the $35,000 punitive damages verdict. On this appeal appellant does not question the sufficiency of the evidence as to the $20,-000 award for unlawful interception of a communication under the wiretapping statute (section 934.10, Florida Statutes (1985)). Accordingly, the final judgment is reduced to $50,000 and, as modified, is

AFFIRMED.

ORFINGER, SHARP and COWART, JJ., concur.
