COMMUNITY DESIGN CORPORATION V. ANTONELL 459 So.2d 343 (1984) CASE BRIEF

COMMUNITY DESIGN CORPORATION V. ANTONELL
459 So.2d 343 (1984)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Community (D) sought review of the amount of attorney fees in a final judgment in favor of Antonell (P) that included attorney's fees and costs in a breach of contract case.
FACTS: P was hired by D to work as an architectural draftsman. He worked on a weekly basis at $10.00 per hour, with time and one-half for overtime. Charles Cheezum, the then-president of D, promised a bonus to any employee still working at Christmastime of 1980, if the drawings were complete by that time. P's supervisor, promised a one-week paid vacation if the drawings were completed on time. After these promises were made, P worked overtime in an effort to complete the drawings by the specified date. After Christmas, and through much of 1981, changes were made to the drawings. Final acceptance of the drawings for construction purposes occurred by March of 1982. P received neither the bonus nor the paid vacation, and he sued to recover both. The jury found for him on both claims, finding for CDC on a third claim for a promised raise. D appealed.
