The Third District Court of Appeal rejected a bank’s attempt to avoid paying attorney fees in a foreclosure case that was dismissed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court.

In the ruling against HSBC Bank U.S.A. N.A., the court blasted the bank Wednesday for a “history in this case of disobeying court orders.” HSBC challenged a Miami-Dade Circuit Court ruling that awarded homeowner Gayle Williams more than $74,000 in attorney fees and costs.
