COUNTRY CLUB OF MIAMI CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC., Appellant, v. Naidima GRACIA, et al., Appellees.
As we have no basis for concluding the trial court abused its discretion in denying appellant's motion for entitlement to attorney's fees, we affirm. See Kelsey v. Metro Constr., 31 So.3d 252, 254 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (“The standard of review for prevailing party attorney's fees is abuse of discretion.” (citation omitted)); see also Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So.2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (“Without a[n adequate] record ․ the appellate court can not properly resolve the underlying factual issues so as to conclude that the trial court's judgment is not supported by the evidence or by an alternative theory. Without knowing the factual context, neither can an appellate court reasonably conclude that the trial judge so misconceived the law as to require reversal.”); Del Valle v. Biltmore II Condo. Ass'n, Inc., 411 So.2d 1356, 1358 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982) (“Where, as here, the unit owner denies each and every material allegation in a complaint for injunctive relief and, additionally, interposes affirmative defenses ․ which, if proved at time of trial, would have precluded the Association from obtaining the relief requested, we have no basis for concluding that the Association was the prevailing party where the dismissal for mootness was unrelated to the merits of the case.”).
Affirmed.
