Supreme Court of Florida

In plaintiff's suit for injunctive relief, fraud, false advertising, and compensatory damages against defendant company for alleged unauthorized use of plaintiff's image or likeness and violation of the Lanham Act, the Fourth District's reversal of the trial court's award of prejudgment interest for the plaintiff is quashed as prejudgment interest is a matter of right under the prevailing "loss theory" of recovery for pecuniary damages, such as damages for economic or tangible losses.
