    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

    Rehearing Denied May 23, 1979.
    Arthur E. Barrow of Caldwell, Pacetti, Barrow & Salisbury, Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Shepard Lesser of Lesser, Lesser & Daniels, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

This is a consolidated appeal involving an interlocutory appeal in Case No. 76-1825, and a plenary appeal in Case No. 77-2023. Appellant/defendant seeks reversal of a final judgment entered in favor of plaintiff for both compensatory and punitive damages. We find appellant has failed to demonstrate reversible error regarding compensatory damages and therefore affirm the judgment in this respect.

The judgment awarding punitive damages is hereby reversed based upon our decision in the interlocutory appeal taken in this same case on which a petition for rehearing has now been denied.

The matter is remanded for further proceedings consistent herewith.

ON PETITION FOR REHEARING

PER CURIAM.

This Court issued its opinion on March 28, 1979, wherein an award of compensatory damages was affirmed. Appellant has filed a motion for clarification. The trial court assessed the sum of $42,900.16 against Clemens B. Hoppe, as Trustee and individually. The assessment of liability in the individual capacity was designated as a surcharge. Under the particular facts and circumstances of this case, this was in the nature of an award of compensatory damages. Our pri- or opinion in Case No. 76-1825 of October 4, 1978, 370 So.2d 374, was to the effect that the Trustee could be held individually liable under the circumstances alleged in the complaint. Therefore, we find that the individual liability of the Trustee in the amount of $42,900.16 was in the nature of a compensatory damage award and the same is hereby affirmed.
