BILLINGS, Presiding Judge:
This case evolves out of more than seven years of litigation between Salt Lake City Corporation (SLCC) and James Constructors, Inc. (James), which ended in settlement in 1992. Hood Corporation (Hood), James’s parent company, appeals from the trial court’s judgment. Following an evidentiary hearing, the court awarded Industrial Indemnity Company (Industrial), James’s surety, attorney fees incurred in the protracted litigation and prejudgment interest on those fees. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
