Suresh Gidwani and Bina Gidwani,
Appellants,
vs.
Sherry Roberts, et al.,
Appellees.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, John W.
Thornton, Jr., Judge.
Easley Appellate Practice PLLC, and Dorothy F. Easley, for appellants.
Vincent F. Vaccarella, P.A., and John A. Moore and Peter L. Meltzer (Fort
Lauderdale), for appellees.
Before LOGUE, HENDON and LOBREE, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Murphy v. Murphy, 370 So. 2d 403, 408 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979)
(“In order to overcome the trial court’s findings upon a sufficiency of the evidence
point, it is necessary for an appellant to go beyond merely showing that the more
reasonable view of the evidence, in his opinion, supports a contrary finding.”); see
also Plana v. Sainz, 990 So. 2d 554, 557 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008) (holding alleged error
in no damages award waived); Coconut Key Homeowner’s Ass’n, Inc. v. Gonzalez,
246 So. 3d 428, 433 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018) (deeming party entitled to fees under
section 720.305(1), worded similarly to 718.303(1), despite “no damages” award),
receded from on other grounds by Sherman v. Sherman, 279 So. 3d 188 (Fla. 4th
DCA 2019).
