Opinion of the Court by
POLLACK, J.
This case addresses the issue of the procedure that an appellate court should follow when a ease becomes moot on appeal and one party seeks vacatur of the lower court’s judgment.
We hold that the Intermediate Court of Appeals (ICA) erred in vacating the circuit court’s judgments and December 31, 2008 Order Granting Partial Summary Judgment in this case and remanding the ease for dismissal. In addition, we conclude that the ICA did not err in affirming the circuit court’s denial of plaintiffs’ request for attorneys’ fees.
