1Opinion of the Court

WALLACE, Judge.

Florida Power Corporation (Duke Energy) appeals the trial court’s Order and Final Judgment Awarding Attorney’s Fees of $229,387.50 to First Baptist Institutional Church of St. Petersburg, Inc. (First Baptist). Duke Energy also appeals the trial court’s Order Taxing Costs of $35,614.92 in favor of First Baptist. The attorney’s fee award and the cost award followed the entry of a final judgment in favor of First Baptist that voided an easement granted by First Baptist to Duke Energy. We affirm in part and reverse in part.

Notably, Duke Energy never appealed the underlying order…
