An appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Jennifer D. Bailey, Judge. Michael A. Nuzzo; David B. Pakula, for appellant. Daniels, Kashtan, Downs & Robertson and Madelyn Simon Lozano, for appellee. Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and COPE, and WELLS, JJ. WELLS, Judge. Robert E. Buchman appeals an order confirming and ratifying an arbitration award, winding up his partnership with Nancy Canard and distributing partnership assets. That order, among other things, awarded damages to Canard in an amount equal to her proportionate share of those partnership assets wrongfully transferred by Buchman and also awarded prejudgment interest on that amount from the date of the wrongful transfer. On appellee Canard s concession that prejudgment interest should not have been awarded, that portion of the order under review is reversed. See Argonaut Ins. Co. v.
