Text: C.B. and Annie Herbert filed a claim in county court against a motor vehicle dealer and its surety, Aetna, charging the dealer with violations of chapter 320, which also constituted deceptive trade practices under FDUTPA. The surety bond was provided to the dealer pursuant to section 320.27(10). At a non-jury trial, the dealer was found to have engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices and the trial court awarded $33.77 in damages. The county court then awarded attorney's fees against the dealer and Aetna in the amount of $11,550, which Aetna appealed. The circuit court affirmed the award, but the Fifth District summarily quashed the circuit court's affirmance, citing to its decision in Hubbel. See Herbert.
