Case No. 2D19-860.

290 So.3d 1091 (2020)

IN RE GUARDIANSHIP OF: Fern S. DAVIS, an incapacitated person. Law Firm of Spector, Gadon & Rosen, P.C., Appellant, v. Richard Davis and June Hetznecker, agents for Fern S. Davis, an incapacitated person. Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Opinion filed February 26, 2020.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Amy L. Christiansen , and Michael J. McGirney , of Spector, Gadon, Rosen, & Vinci, LLP, Saint Petersburg; and Paul R. Rosen , and John Da Grosa , of Smith of Spector, Gadon, Rosen, and Vinci, P.C., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for Appellant.

Robert E. Biasotti , of Biasotti Law, Saint Petersburg, for Appellees.


Although the proceedings below were not conducted in an ideal manner, we can find no basis to reverse the order on appeal for this Appellant, save for one issue. From our review, the circuit court erred when it granted Appellees' motion for attorney's fees based on the circuit court's inherent authority to sanction inequitable conduct.
