Opinion

No. 4D99-2889.

Opinion filed May 31, 2000.

Appeal and cross-appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Stephen A. Rapp, Judge; L.T. Case No. CL 99-2370 AN.

Gene D. Lipscher of Alley, Maass, Rogers Lindsay, P.A., Palm Beach, for appellant/cross-appellee.

Charles W. Musgrove and Donald P. Kohl, West Palm Beach, for appellees/cross-appellants.


This is an appeal and cross-appeal from a final summary judgment awarding damages of $103,674.15 to appellant after appellees admitted liability for breaching a commercial real estate lease contract. We reverse the summary judgment and remand this case for a trial on the issue of damages because disputed issues of material fact exist as to whether appellant took possession of the premises after evicting appellees for its own account or for the account of the tenant. See CB Institutional Fund VIII v. Gemballa U.S.A., Inc., 566 So.2d 896, 897 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990); Geiger Mut. Agency, Inc. v. Wright, 233 So.2d 444, 447 (Fla. 4th DCA 1970); Williams v. Aeroland Oil Co., 155 Fla. 114, 20 So.2d 346 (1944).

REVERSED and REMANDED.

KLEIN, STEVENSON and HAZOURI, JJ., concur.
