Escambia County, Florida v. Stanberry

27 Fla. L. Weekly D861 (Fla. 1st DCA April 26, 2002)

The court reaffirmed its finding in Saye v. Pieschacon, 750 So. 2d 759, where the award of attorney fees and costs requires an entry of final judgment. Thus, under section 768.79(6) of the Florida Statutes (2001), the entitlement of any possible attorney fees arises only "after the entry of judgment or after voluntary or involuntary dismissal."
