Montana Supreme Court
Decided December 20, 2001No. 01-115PublishedCited by 16 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Trieweiler
¶1 The Respondent, Michael Laudert, as the prevailing party in a discrimination suit, petitioned the District Court for the First Judicial District in Lewis & Clark County to award attorney fees and costs from the Appellant, Richland County Sheriffs Department (RCSD). The District Court awarded attorney fees and costs in the full amount claimed. RCSD appeals the District Court’s order awarding attorney fees. We affirm the order of the District Court.
¶2 The sole issue on appeal is whether the District Court erred when it awarded the full amount of attorney fees claimed by Laudert.
