GRUNEWALD v. PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES LLC (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Betty GRUNEWALD, Petitioner, v. PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES, LLC, Respondent.

No. 1D17-1914

Decided: June 29, 2021

Louis K. Rosenbloum of Louis K. Rosenbloum, P.A., Pensacola and Robert N. Heath, Jr. of Robert N. Heath, Jr., P.A., Pensacola, for Petitioner. Robert E. Sickles and John P. Gaset of Broad and Cassel, LLP, Tampa, for Respondent.

This case is before us on remand from the Florida Supreme Court, which quashed this Court's opinion in Grunewald v. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, 257 So. 3d 1238 (Fla. 1st DCA 2018), and remanded for reconsideration in light of its decision in Ham v. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, 308 So. 3d 942, 943 (Fla. 2020). On application of that decision, we grant Grunewald's petition for writ of certiorari. The circuit court's appellate decision dated April 21, 2017, is quashed and the circuit court is directed to affirm the county court's final judgment for attorney's fees on remand.

Per Curiam.

Winokur, Jay, and Long, JJ., concur.
