R.D.M.H., Inc. v. Dempsey,
    
618 So 2d 794 (Fla 5th DCA 1993).
 

A plaintiff sued a defendant corporation and its principal for breach of contract and fraud. The Brevard County Circuit Court entered judgment for breach of contract, fraud, and punitive damages in favor of the plaintiff.

Ms. Lippincott represented the defendants on appeal. The judgments for fraud and punitive damages were reversed. The appellate court reversed the judgment, holding that a compensatory damage award for both breach of contract and fraud could not stand where the plaintiff fails to establish any difference in the damages sustained. And, in addition, the court held that without a successful fraud judgment the award of punitive damages could not stand.
