Johnson v. Grayson
Defendant Bob Grayson appeals from the judgment in favor of plaintiff Kelly Johnson in her quiet title and slander of title action. He contends the record does not support the quiet title decree or the elements for slander of title. Additionally, he challenges the award of attorney fees on the grounds the tort of another doctrine does not apply and plaintiff failed to differentiate between recoverable and unrecoverable fees. He also argues the award of inconvenience damages has no legal basis.
Although we conclude plaintiff is entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and legal expenses, we reverse the award in this regard and remand the matter to the trial court to redetermine the appropriate amount to which plaintiff is entitled in a manner consistent with the views expressed in this opinion. In all other respects, we affirm the judgment.
In her respondent’s brief, plaintiff requests attorney fees on appeal. We deny the request.
