Opinion
No. 95-253.
June 26, 1996.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Gisela Cardonne, Judge.
Barrett Rogers, Miami, and William L. Rogers, Naples, for appellant.
Roy D. Wasson, Miami, for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GODERICH and FLETCHER, JJ.
We find no merit in the points raised on appeal. On the cross-appeal, however, section 68.065 (1), Florida Statutes (1991), requires an award of three times the $16,634.60 bad check issued by Nasr International Trading Co., Inc. in addition to, rather than including, the face amount of the check. Krontz v. Feiler, 553 So.2d 1302 n. 1 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989). Hence, the judgment on this basis for Rahul International, Inc., and against Nasr International Trading Co., Inc., shall be increased after remand from $49,903.80 ($16,634.60 + 2 x $16,634.60) to $66,538.40 ($16,634.60 + 3 x $16,634.60).
Affirmed as modified.
