Description
We have for review the decision of the Second District Court of Appeal in White v. Steak & Ale of Florida, Inc., 779 So. 2d 527, 528 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000), which certified conflict with the decision of the Third District Court of Appeal in Perez v. Circuit City Stores, Inc., 721 So. 2d 409 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998), review dismissed, 729 So. 2d 390 (Fla. 1999). The issue in this case is whether, under the offer of judgment statute, section 768.79, Florida Statutes (1993), pre-offer taxable costs are included in calculating the "judgment obtained" for the purpose of determining whether the party making the offer is entitled to attorneys' fees under section 768.79. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.
