03/02/2009 ORAL ARGUMENT CALENDAR
05/06/2009 ORAL ARGUMENT HELD
02/04/2010 DISP-QUASHED & REMANDED For the foregoing reasons, we hold that section 627.736(11), Florida Statutes (2001), does not apply retroactively to the insurance policy issued to the insureds, because it is a substantive statute. Accordingly, we quash the decision of the Third District Court of Appeal and remand with directions to reinstate the stipulated final judgment and to award attorneys' fees.

Accordingly, we quash the decision of the Third District Court of Appeal and remand with directions to reinstate the stipulated final judgment and the final judgment awarding attorneys' fees. We also instruct the district court to enter an order awarding attorneys' fees and to remand the issue to the trial court for a determination of the amount of fees for the proceedings at the district court and before this Court.
