Supreme Court of Colorado

Rocky Mountain Festivals, Inc., D/b/a Colorado Renaissance Festivals, Inc., Petitioner v. Parsons Co — Eid, J…

December 13, 2010242 P.3d 1067

Summary

Justice Eid dissented, reasoning that the festival could not recover wrong-of-another attorney fees because its underlying negligence claim had already been properly dismissed for lack of evidence of causation. She further concluded that, even if a substantive claim remained, the festival was at fault in the underlying litigation because it owed the town a substantial amount, so the governing limitation on wrong-of-another damages barred recovery. The dissent would have affirmed the court of appeals rather than remanded for further consideration.
