How courts have described this case

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

• holding that order entered on remand awarding attorney’s fees was final, appealable order because this Court remanded to trial court for determination of reasonable fee and, once fee issue decided, there were no other issues left to resolve
• stating that, “[w]hat is a fair and reasonable fee is sometimes a delicate, and at times a difficult[,] question”
• stating that the trial court does not have to address every LaRocca factor
• explaining that, while the CLS fee schedule is beneficial as “a reference for lawyers who have prevailed in a public interest cause of action,” it was not applicable to a purely contractual fee claim between private commercial parties
• explaining that when “judgment is entered in the underlying litigation before the trial court rules on a motion for counsel fees, the order on counsel fees is appealable when entered without the need for entry of judgment on it”
• applying LaRocca but noting that “[t]he trial court does not have to address every LaRocca factor”
