District Court of Appeal of Florida

A request for attorney's fees, brought pursuant to petitioner's successful mandamus proceedings where the Board of Professional Engineers was compelled to rule on a petition for formal hearing, is granted as the agency's action in failing to rule on his petition for formal hearing constituted a gross abuse justifying an award of attorney's fees as it put petitioner-s request for licensure on hold for four months.
