Description
This is a petition to review Moritz v. Hoyt Enterprises, Inc., 576 So.2d 351 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991), in which the district court held that Hoyt Enterprises (Hoyt) was entitled to attorneys fees as the prevailing party under circumstances where Carl and Sara Moritz had been found to have breached a contract but were still entitled to a judgment for the majority of the funds held on deposit. We find conflict with Casavan v. Land OLakes Realty, Inc., 542 So.2d 371 (Fla. 5th DCA 1989), in which the Fifth District Court of Appeal held that the prevailing party, for the purpose of awarding attorneys fees, is the party who recovers the larger portion of the sum in dispute.{/Cite} We approve the decision of the district court in this cause, concluding that this record establishes that Hoyt prevailed on the significant issues tried in this cause.
