Granville v. Howard

OPINION

DOWNIE, Judge.

¶ 1 Vince Leroy Howard appeals from a judgment awarding John Granville $72,000 in attorneys’ fees under Arizona Rule of Civil Procedure 77(f) (judgment after trial de novo from arbitration appeal). Granville cross-appeals, arguing the superior court erred by not awarding him the full amount of fees he requested. In this opinion, we set forth several non-exclusive factors that trial courts should consider when awarding fees under Rule 77(f). We vacate the fee award entered in this matter and remand for reconsideration based on the factors stated herein.
