R.F.F. Family Partnership v. Seven Arts Pictures
Defendant Seven Arts Pictures Inc. (Seven Arts) appeals from a judgment awarding plaintiff R.F.F. Family Partnership, LP (RFF) damages, prejudgment interest and attorney fees under agreements related to a loan transaction. Seven Arts contends RFF did not prove that it was entitled to any monies from Seven Arts and the trial court, therefore, erred in denying its motion for nonsuit[1] and in entering judgment in favor of RFF. We agree with Seven Arts contention that RFF is not entitled to an award of attorney fees against Seven Arts. We also find that Seven Arts is liable for only a portion of the interest on the loan that was included in the judgment. We remand for recalculation of the interest as specified below. We reject Seven Arts additional contentions that the trial court committed reversible error in (1) admitting certain evidence, (2) denying relief from its waiver of jury trial, and (3) not issuing a statement of decision.
