Syllabus

CONTRACTS — ATTORNEY'S FEES — SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT: The trial court did not err in denying plaintiffs's motion to enforce the settlement agreement where the agreement executed by the parties unambiguously required defendants to return prepaid fees to plaintiffs only for patients who had prepaid dental services performed after the execution of the settlement agreement. Where the contract allowed for attorney's fees to the prevailing party, the trial court did not err in refusing to award attorney's fees to plaintiffs who were not successful in proving their claim that the prepaid-patient clause in the settlement agreement applied to those patients who had already had their dental services performed prior to the execution of the settlement agreement between the parties.
