Syllabus

The trial court's decision finding appellee had not violated the consumer sales protection act regarding claims requiring authorization from a consumer to expenses exceeding ten percent of the original estimate was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where appellant had not requested an original estimate, thereby making any violation of that claim impossible. In addition, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying appellant's request for attorney fees where the record indicated he suffered no actual economic damages resulting from appellee's violation of the consumer sales practices act and where appellant received a windfall based on the work that appellee completed on his house.
