OLEN PROPERTIES CORP., Appellant, v. Rebecca CANCEL, Appellee.
No. 4D14-1180.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Oct. 7, 2015.
Robert Rivas of Sachs Sax Caplan, P.L., Tallahassee, for appellant.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
In this sex discrimination and retaliation case, we reverse the $700,000 award of non-economic damages as excessive. See City of Hollywood v. Hogan, 986 So.2d 634 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008); see also § 768.74(5), Fla. Stat. (2013). We remand for the trial court to determine a remittitur amount, or to order a new trial on non-economic damages if the party adversely affected by the remittitur does not agree to the remitted amount. See § 768.74(4), Fla. Stat. (2013).
We affirm on all other issues raised in this appeal.
Affirmed in part, Reversed in part, and Remanded for further proceedings.
GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ, and SHEPHERD, CAROLINE, Associate Judge, concur.
