District Court of Appeal of Florida January 27, 2017, Case No. 5D15-2933 (Baldwin v. Idoni)

PER CURIAM.

Appellant John Baldwin appeals the order denying his motion for attorney’s fees and costs. The trial court denied the motion, concluding that the case was an action for equitable relief. We disagree. The essence of the suit was an action for damages. See DiPompeo Constr. Corp. v. Kimmel & Assocs., Inc., 916 So.2d 17, 19 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005).
