Wong v. New Prospect Enterprises, Inc.
District Court of Appeal of Florida
1Opinion of the Court
ORFINGER, Judge.
We affirm the judgment for the plaintiff in this breach of contract action on the ground that there is substantial, competent evidence, although disputed, to support the verdict of the trial judge following the non-jury trial. It is not the function of the appellate court to re-evaluate the evidence and substitute its judgment for that of the fact finder. Helman v. Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Company, 349 So.2d 1187 (Fla.1977). The credibility of witnesses and the weight to be given their testimony is for the trier of fact. Marsh v. Marsh, 419 So.2d 629 (Fla.1982).
