How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that “[without a demonstration of bad faith on the part of the attorney in question, sanctions pursuant to this statute are inappropriate.”
• reasoning that assertion of baseless counterclaim was “made in bad faith and unreasonably and vexatiously multiplied” the proceedings by forcing party to move for dismissal of counterclaim
• even where the wrong associated with the breach is not aimed at the public, where “the actions of the breaching party ‘involve that degree of bad faith evincing a disingenuous or dishonest failure to carry out a contract,’ then punitive damages are appropriate.”
