Snell v. Mott's Contracting Services, Inc.

District Court of Appeal of Florida

1Opinion of the Court

BLACK, Judge.

In this second-tier certiorari proceeding, Marcia and Bruce Snell challenge the circuit court’s order which reversed the county court’s order denying attorney’s fees to Mott’s Contracting Services, Inc. (Mott’s Contracting). The circuit court departed from the essential requirements of the law *607in concluding that Mott’s Contracting is entitled to attorney’s fees pursuant to the Construction Lien Law1 and that the arbitrator had the authority to make such a fee entitlement determination. Therefore, we grant the petition for writ of certiorari and quash the circuit court’s order.
