Thompson Pacific Construction v. Franklin Reinforcing Steel
This litigation concerns a construction project. Franklin Reinforcing Steel Co., Inc. (Franklin), the party who prevailed on its cross-complaint after a jury trial, challenges the trial courts order awarding it attorney fees, claiming that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering a reduced amount of attorney fees. In the cross-appeal, Thompson Pacific Construction, Inc. (Thompson), objects to (1) the trial courts orders imposing monetary sanctions against it and dismissing its complaint, and (2) the judgment entered against it. Additionally, Thompsons attorneys, Robert L. Leslie and McInerney & Dillon, appeal the trial courts order imposing monetary sanctions against them. Because the judgment in favor of Franklin is reversed, it follows that Franklin is not entitled to attorney fees. Thus, Franklins appeal challenging the reduced award of attorney fees is dismissed as moot.
