Ohio Supreme Court
Phoenix Lighting Group, L.L.C. v. Genlyte Thomas Group, L.L.C.
December 10, 2024178 Ohio St. 3d 439
Summary
The Ohio Supreme Court held that the trial court exceeded its authority by granting post‑judgment attorney fees and expenses after the Court’s prior mandate limited the award to prejudgment fees, reversed the Ninth District Court of Appeals’ judgment, and remanded with instructions to vacate the post‑judgment award and enter a final judgment of $1,991,507. The Court also affirmed that the trial court’s enhancement of the attorney‑fee award was improper.
