Sipe v. Kalitowski

OPINION

CRIPPEN, Judge.

After the trial court consolidated two cases, the first an environmental action brought by appellant landowners against respondent City of Greenfield, and the second a condemnation action brought by the city against the owners, the city discontinued the condemnation action. The parties then stipulated to the dismissal of all claims except for the amount of attorneys’ fees appellants could recover. The trial court awarded fees incurred in defense of the condemnation action but denied recovery of fees incurred in pursuit of the environmental action. We reverse.
