Butcher v. General R.V. Center, Inc.

Syllabus

In a proceeding to recover attorney fees incurred in an action against the manufacturer and dealer of a defective recreational vehicle, the trial court awarded plaintiffs their attorney fees for time spent pursuing and settling their underlying claims related to the vehicle but denied recovery of fees related to the litigation of their post-settlement motion for attorney fees. Rejecting the contention that the trial court abused its discretion in denying plaintiffs a portion of their fees, it is concluded on this appeal that the trial court acted within the proper bounds of its authority and did not abuse its discretion. Accordingly, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is affirmed.
