Opinion

We affirm on all counts without further discussion, except as to the issue of setoff, to which the Appellee has commendably conceded error. Accordingly, we affirm in part, and reverse in part, and instruct the trial court to set off the jurys $19.5 million verdict by the $10 million bank defendant settlement and recalculate pre-judgment interest in an amended final judgment. See Addison Constr. Corp. v. Vecellio, 240 So. 3d 757, 764 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018) (“The purpose of the setoff statutes is to prevent a windfall to a plaintiff by way of double recovery.”).

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with instructions.
