Phillips & Akers, P.C. v. Cornwell

OPINION

ANDELL, Justice.

This appeal arises from a medical malpractice suit filed by the appellee, Gary Cornwell, as the legal representative of the estate of his deceased wife, Catherine Louise Corn-well, against Dr. Samuel F. Boushy. During the discovery process, Cornwell filed a motion for sanctions against the appellants, Phillips & Akers, P.C. (P & A), for alleged discovery abuses. 1 After a hearing, the trial court denied Cornwell’s motion for sanctions but ordered P & A to pay attorney’s fees to Cornwell in the amount of $9,459.50 for his costs in pursuing the motion for sanctions. 2
