Appellate Court of Illinois

In the matter of attorney fees arising from the settlement of the underlying lessor-lessee dispute, order that plaintiff pay half of the attorney fees for defendant Chicago Title and Trust Company and denial of plaintiff's petition for attorney fees are affirmed where: 1) with each side prevailing on a significant issue, the court cannot find that the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to award attorney fees to plaintiff; and 2) neither plaintiff nor defendant McGivern's prevailed on "a significant issue" against defendant trust company or achieved "some benefit" from suing it.
