Pepper Construction Company v. Palmolive Tower Condominiums, LLC

Appeal from a complicated case involving a dispute relating to a construction project with multiple prior opinions and orders. At issue in the current appeal was the issue of attorneys fees. Plaintiff argued on appeal that one of the defendants was not a prevailing party and, as a result, was not entitled to attorneys fees that were awarded to the defendant. Defendant argued on appeal that the amount of the attorneys fees awarded were insufficient. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorneys fees or determining the amount awarded. (HYMAN and TAILOR, concurring)
