Description
The petition for rehearing in this case involves the issue of awarding attorneys fees for an appeal of an action to foreclose a mechanics lien. Thomas Rosson, a contractor, filed suit against Bruce Boyd for failure to pay him for the work he performed in building Boyds home. The jury awarded judgment to Rosson, and the superior court awarded Rosson attorneys fees of $20,328. Boyd appealed the award of attorneys fees as an abuse of discretion, and Rosson cross-appealed, arguing that he is entitled to $27,847.50 in attorneys fees by virtue of AS 34.35.005(b). We held that Rosson was entitled to reasonable attorneys fees under AS 34.35.005(b), and remanded the case because it was unclear whether the superior court had considered the statute in determining its $20,328 award. Our Disposition of the case included an award to Rosson of $750 in attorneys fees for the appeal.
