Opinion filed October 10, 2016
Appeal from the Circuit Court
for Seminole County,
Michael J. Rudisill, Judge.
Atheseus R. Lockhart and Nicole C.
Jackson, of Meier, Bonner, Muszynski,
O'Dell & Harvey, P.A., Longwood, for
Appellant/Cross-Appellee.
Jim McCrae and J. Keith Ramsey, of
Holland & Knight LLP, Orlando, for
Appellee/Cross-Appellant, Bee-Line Supply
Company, Inc.
No Appearance for other Appellees/Cross-
Appellants.
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the trial court’s order awarding attorney’s fees to Bee-Line Supply
Company, Inc. However, as Bee-Line concedes, the prejudgment interest awarded on
the amount of the attorney’s fees should have been assessed from the date of the order
confirming the arbitration award, June 18, 2013, which determined Bee-Line’s entitlement
to fees, not March 9, 2011, the date of the arbitration award; and the amount of
prejudgment interest should have been calculated on the amount of the award and
included in the judgment to bear post-judgment interest on the full amount. See Quality
Engineered Installation, Inc. v. Higley South, Inc., 670 So. 2d 929, 930-31 (Fla. 1996);
Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. v. Wood, 676 So. 2d 464, 466 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996).
Accordingly, we remand only for the proper calculation of the prejudgment interest.1
AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED with instructions.
ORFINGER and BERGER, JJ., and CRAGGS, A. M., Associate Judge, concur.
1 Appellee filed a notice of cross-appeal on August 25, 2015; however, the cross-
appeal is deemed abandoned since Bee-Line did not file a cross-appeal initial brief.
