Description

This is an appeal by writ of error from a default judgment entered against defendant Bruce B. Freeman, appellant, and for Leasing Associates, Inc., appellee. This suit involves the breach of two leasing contracts, one for an automobile and one for machinery. Copies of both contracts were attached to appellee's petition in their entirety, setting forth the terms and monthly payments under the leases. The automobile lease provides, in a paragraph labeled DEFAULS: In addition thereto, Associates shall be entitled to recover from the Lessee...court costs and attorneys' fees, incurred...in the enforcement...of its rights...hereunder. The second lease has a similar provision. The petition averred that appellant was in default on both leases but failed to specify when the breaches occurred. The combined sum of $5,075.03 was prayed for under the leases (after) applying all charges provided for in said leases and allowing all credits and offsets due, plus $1,600.00 as a reasonable attorney fee. By a document entitled Statement of Facts submitted on appeal, both parties agreed that no facts were given in evidence before the trial judge. The judgment awarded $4,075.03, plus $1,350.00 as reasonable attorney fees.
