JOYCE v. FEDERATED NAT. INS. CO.

No. SC16-103.

228 So.3d 1122 (2017)

William JOYCE, et al., Petitioners, v. FEDERATED NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Florida.

October 19, 2017.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Tracy L. Markham of Avolio & Hanlon, P.C., St. Augustine, Florida; and Raymond T. Elligett, Jr. , and Amy S. Farrior of Buell & Elligett, P.A., Tampa, Florida, for Petitioners.

Derek J. Angell and Nicholas J. Mari of O'Connor & O'Connor, LLC, Winter Park, Florida; and A. Hinda Klein of Conroy Simberg, P.A., Hollywood, Florida, for Respondent.

The issue in this case is whether trial courts may apply a contingency fee multiplier to an award of attorney's fees to a prevailing party only in "rare" and "exceptional" circumstances, as the Fifth District Court of Appeal held in Federated National Insurance Co. v. Joyce, 179 So.3d 492
