HAYES & CARABALLO, PL, ROSEMARY HAYES, ET AL., APPELLANT,
v.
AUTO-OWNERS INSURANCE COMPANY, APPELLEE

Fla. 5th DCA | 2010-04-09
No. 5D08-2761
SAWAYA, ORFINGER and TORPY, JJ., concur.
35 So. 3d 936 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (2010) Caution
Cited by 21 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s order denying Appellants’ request for attorney’s fees under section 57.105, Florida Statutes (2008), or, alternatively, under the court’s inherent authority. We find no abuse of the broad discretion vested in the trial court when considering such matters. We reverse only as to the trial court’s failure to liquidate the attorney’s fees awarded as a sanction in connection with the August 13, 2007, order on Appellants’ motion to compel.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED.

SAWAYA, ORFINGER and TORPY, JJ., concur.
