Campbell Conroy & O’Neil obtains a reversal  of a Florida trial court’s order that deferred ruling on a motion for appellate costs

After winning a reversal of summary judgment on appeal, Campbell Conroy & O’Neil filed a motion for appellate costs in the trial court. The trial court “deferred” ruling on the motion for appellate costs. 

Campbell Conroy & O’Neil member P. Brandon Perkins filed a “motion for review” in the Second District Court of Appeal arguing that the trial court committed reversible error by deferring the entry of an appellate cost judgment. The Second District granted the motion, reversed the trial court’s order that deferred ruling and remanded with directions to grant a judgment for appellate costs.
