Description

This appeal arises from the trial courts award of attorneys fees under Rule 82, Alaska Rules of Civil procedure, to two parties in a multiparty suit. Paul and Arlene Myers (the Myers), raise three issues on appeal. First, whether the trial court abused its discretion by awarding them, as prevailing plaintiffs, $4,843.50, only 50% of the Rule 82 figure for attorneys fees, because they could have "obtained virtually the identical result by accepting defendants pretrial offer." Second, whether the trial court erred in awarding defendants G & P Services and Wilburn L. Privett, who received a directed verdict against the Myers, $10,000 (20% of their actual attorneys fees) and $3,425 in costs. Third, whether it was manifestly unreasonable for the trial court to award defendants G & P and Privett attorneys fees which exceeded the attorneys fees awarded to the Myers as prevailing parties against the other remaining defendants. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse the trial courts award of attorneys fees to the Myers which reduced by 50 percent the amount normally awarded under the fee schedule in Civil Rule 82. We remand for reconsideration of the award of attorneys fees and costs to the defendants G & P and Privett consistent with the opinion.
