WESTCHESTER FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY LLC v. KESOKI PAINTING LLC (2018)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

WESTCHESTER FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY, LLC, Appellant, v. KESOKI PAINTING LLC, Appellee.

No. 3D17-2391

Decided: December 19, 2018

Before SUAREZ, LOGUE, and LINDSEY, JJ.

Eaton & Wolk, PL, and Douglas F. Eaton, for appellant. Taylor Espino Vega & Touron, P.A., and Daniel R. Vega and Vanessa A. Van Cleaf, for appellee.

In this companion case to 3D16-2523, Westchester Fire Insurance Company, LLC, appeals from a final judgment awarding attorney's fees in favor of Kesoki Painting, LLC. “The standard of review for an award of prevailing party attorney fees is abuse of discretion.” Shands Teaching Hosp. & Clinics, Inc. v. Mercury Ins. Co. of Florida, 97 So.3d 204, 213 (Fla. 2012). However, Westchester failed to include a hearing transcript. “Without a transcript of the hearing, our review is limited to errors appearing on the face of that judgment.” Pazouhandeh v. Salgar Const. Co., 112 So.3d 151, 152 (Fla. 5th DCA 2013). We find no such errors here on the face of the trial court's detailed and well-written order. Accordingly, we affirm.

Affirmed.

SUAREZ, J.
