ORDER AND OPINION
THIS
CAUSE came before the Court on appeal, filed by Raymond Stanelis (Stanelis),
from the Final Judgment, entered August 4, 2006, in favor of Age Institute of Florida (Age Institute).
Upon review of
the briefs, the record and being otherwise fully advised, the Court affirms the
trial court’s ruling as set forth below.
The record shows that, on February 21, 2005, Age Institute filed its Complaint against Stanelis
seeking damages for breach of contract as a result of Stanelis’ failure to pay
for services rendered by Age Institute to Stanelis’ mother. After a non-jury trial, the trial court
entered Final Judgment in favor of Age Institute finding that Stanelis was
liable for services rendered totaling $ 5,820.76, plus costs and interest.
Before this Court, Stanelis argues that the trial court erred
in granting final judgment in favor of Age Institute. The trial court’s interpretation of a
contract is a matter of law subject to a de novo standard of review. See Jenkins v. Eckerd Corporation,
913 So.2d 43, 49 (
Therefore, it is,
ORDERED
AND ADJUDGED that the Final Judgment is affirmed.
