Our prior opinion of September 2, 2016, was disapproved by the Florida Supreme Court "to the extent it is inconsistent with [the Florida Supreme] Court's opinion in Joyce v. Federated Nat'l Ins. Co. , 228 So.3d 1122 (Fla. 2017)," and the case was remanded to this court "for instructions not inconsistent with th[e] Court's opinion in Joyce ." See Mone v. Sawgrass Mut. Ins. Co. , 43 Fla. L. Weekly S185, 2018 WL 1895708 (Fla. Apr. 20, 2018). Upon reconsideration, we affirm the final judgment awarding attorney's fees, including the trial court's application of a multiplier to the attorney's fees award. Based upon Appellees' prior concession of error, we reverse the award of $26,918.43 in court costs regarding the services provided by two of Appellees' expert witnesses, Nettles & Associates and Reliable Field Services of Central Florida, Inc. On remand, the trial court is directed to strike this amount from the final judgment.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED, with instructions.
COHEN, C.J., LAMBERT, J., and LEMONIDIS, R.C., Associate Judge, concur.
