Martin J. ABEL and Melvin B. Seiden, Appellants, v. Frederick J. KEITEL, III and Fielden B. Nutter, Sr., Appellees.
    No. 4D00-403.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Nov. 29, 2000.
    Rehearing Denied March 13, 2001.
    Steven A. Mayans of FitzGerald, Hawkins, Mayans & Cook, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellants.
    Jack Scarola of Searcy, Denney, Scarola, Barnhart & Shipley, P.A., West Palm Beach, and Edna L. Caruso of Caruso, Burlington, Bohn & Compiani, P.A., West Palm Beach, for Appellee-Frederick J. Keitel, III.
   PER CURIAM.

The trial court erred in failing to award prejudgment interest on the funds held in escrow. We therefore remand this matter to the trial court to amend the final judgment to include prejudgment interest from July 1,1992, the date that the venture was terminated as a result of the rejection of the franchise.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

FARMER, KLEIN and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
