J. Brownlee finds the trial court improperly granted a patient summary judgment on his claim under the Florida Consumer Collection Practice Act that a foot and ankle center put a lien on his workers’ compensation settlement. The center argues there was insufficient evidence when the contingency fee multiplier was imposed. The court finds the multiplier failed factorial analysis from the beginning, but the patient presented no evidence relevant to the first factor. Therefore, this case is remanded solely to enter judgement without the contingency fee multiplier. Affirmed, in part. Reversed, in part.

J. Harris holds that the trial court must reassess whether a commercial tenant's breach of a settlement agreement was a material breach and, if it was, whether the landlord is entitled to damages or to have the settlement agreement rescinded. In the process, the trial court must determine whether the parties can be restored to their pre-settlement status and whether equitable concerns merit rescission instead of enforcement of the agreement's terms. After those issues are resolved, the trial court can re-evaluate the parties' requests for attorney fees and assess which party prevailed in each phase of litigation. Vacated.
