Jay A. Roberts and Ashley Roberts McNamara, as Cotrustees of the Della I. Roberts Trust, Petitioners v. Barry L…

Summary

The court held that Colorado's attorney-fee statute does not authorize a Colorado court to award fees incurred in litigation conducted in a foreign court. It reasoned that the subsection relied on by the petitioners clarifies the fee-award authority in other subsections and cannot be read independently without making the statute's geographic limitation meaningless. The court affirmed the court of appeals and remanded for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.
