Ennis Commercial Property v. Paregian
In a previous opinion, we affirmed a jury verdict for defendant Bacchus Vineyards in this breach-of-contract action. Plaintiffs Ennis Commercial Properties, LLC, Ennis Homes, Inc., and HA Devco, Inc., now appeal from an award of attorneys fees the trial court granted pursuant to an attorneys fees clause in the parties contract. Plaintiffs first contend that the fee award should be reversed because the defense verdict should be reversed, but our previous affirmance of the verdict disposes of that claim. Plaintiffs also attack the amount of the award. Though the trial court awarded less than the full amount claimed by defendant, plaintiffs say the amount was still excessive and the court abused its discretion in refusing to reduce it further.
