Debbie Worsham v. Roy Day and Teresa Day

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Worsham's motion for attorney's fees and costs in her breach-of-contract action. It held that the fourteen-day period for seeking fees began when the circuit court entered the May 25, 2016 judgment, not when the appellate mandate issued, and that Worsham's motion filed nearly a year later was untimely. The court also rejected her argument that an oral request or the statutory authorization for fees excused compliance with the filing deadline.
