Fla. 3d DCA | 1988-05-10
No. 87-550
Before HENDRY, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.
524 So. 2d 726 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1988) Positive Treatment
Cited by 2 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the final judgment based upon our conclusion that Rodel Fire Protection, Inc., presented satisfactory evidence of an open account and an account stated to support the amount awarded. See Robert W. Gottfried, Inc. v. Cole, 454 So. 2d 695 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984); Dudas v. Dade County, 385 So. 2d 1144 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980).

Affirmed.

HENDRY and JORGENSON, JJ., concur.

(specially concurring).

Because there is no evidence of a “failure of the debtor to object within a reasonable time” I would not affirm on a theory of account stated. Dudas v. Dade County, 385 So. 2d 1144 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980). There is, however, competent and substantial evidence of a breach of the revived original contract to support the judgment.
