How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- reducing final lodestar figure by five percent as a result of block billing and vague time entries.
- reducing the award by 5% because “some of plaintiffs’ counsel’s time entries ... are so lacking in detail as to preclude any analysis of how counsel’s time was spent”
- reducing the amount of attorneys’ fees allowed under the parties’ settlement agreement and determining a reasonable fee by calculating the hours reasonably expended on the litigation multiplied by a reasonable hourly rate
- “A fee award may therefore be reasonable in relation to the success achieved even though the plaintiff’s fee award may be ‘disproportionate to the damages he recovered.’ ”
- “To the extent that [the DCCPPA’s] reference to ‘fees’ does not include an attorney’s ‘costs,’ the Court concludes that an award covering such expenses would be permitted as ‘other relief which the court deems proper’ under § 28–3905(k)(1)(F).”
