Georgia Court of Appeals

Margaret E. Butler v. Jenai B. Lee

A15A1937 March 9, 2016 Vacated & Remanded With Direction

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether a trial court's award of attorney fees under OCGA § 9-15-14 was unauthorized because it was an unapportioned lump sum. The Georgia Court of Appeals vacated the order and remanded the case with direction, requiring the trial court to indicate the basis for any fee award.
