(“GPS”); and (2) awarding GPS attorney fees in the amount of $88,564. On appeal, the Bail Agents raise the following restated issue: whether the trial court erred in awarding costs and attorney fees to GPS pursuant to Indiana Trial Rule 65(C) following the reversal of a permanent injunction against GPS.
