Tennessee Consumer Protection Act Allows Attorneys Fees During Appeal
The Tennessee Supreme Court decided on Friday "that a plaintiff who establishes a violation of one or more of the provisions of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act may be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees generated during appeal(s) of the matter." In Killingsworth v. Ted Russel Ford, Inc., the Court specified that any request for attorneys fees incurred on appeal "must set forth his or her intention to do so in his or her appellate pleadings." The Court held that mention of a request for attorneys' fees in the complaint at the trial court level is not enough.
