CBS Holdings, LLC v. Hexagon US Federal, Inc.

Summary

The court reversed the trial court's $174,987.45 award of costs and attorney fees because HexFed's heavily redacted invoices did not adequately document the time billed, the necessity of the work, or the relationship of the charges to the litigation. The court also held that the trial court's conclusory order did not explain its calculation or demonstrate consideration of the required fee-award factors, preventing meaningful appellate review. The matter was remanded for HexFed to supplement its application and for the trial court to enter a sufficiently detailed fee order.
