United States First Circuit

The district court's award of attorney fees in a multi-party dispute was proper where defendant's conduct refuted his contention that the unwritten agreement for legal services was limited by an alleged cap on fees, but the trial court's entry for a judgment as a matter of law to one party for fees still in dispute at the time of trial, yet not grant plaintiff such fees when a reasonable jury could have done so, required a remand.
