Supreme Court of Florida
Albert A. A. Cartenuto, Iii, Appellants v. Justice Administrative Commission, Appellee.
December 20, 2018260 So. 3d 908
Summary
The Court held that the statutory qualifications in effect when Cartenuto was appointed as a designated attorney in 2012 governed his eligibility for fees, rather than the more stringent qualifications enacted in 2013. Because the record supported his qualification under the 2012 statute and contained no competent, substantial evidence establishing otherwise, the Court reversed and remanded for reconsideration of the qualifications and determination of reasonable fees.
