Reynolds-Douglass v. Terhark

Summary

The Court affirmed the award of attorney’s fees arising from a buyer’s breach of a residential real-estate purchase contract. It held that the signed contract was an evidence of indebtedness because it facially imposed legally enforceable obligations to pay the due diligence fee and earnest money deposit, and that the contractual fee provision was enforceable under the governing statute. The Court also upheld recovery of fees incurred while defending the earlier judgment. Separate writings are not included because none were supplied as a separate-opinions record.
