Text of Sixth Circuit Ruling That Remand Alone Is Not Sufficient to Support Award of Attorney's Fees (PDF)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit Nov. 12, 2013 "To conclude that the degree-of-culpability factor always favors an award of attorney fees when a case is remanded to address an inadequate review of the record would essentially equate the first King factor with a litigant's degree of success on the merits. The law of this circuit makes clear that these are separate inquiries.... Geiger urges a result that would essentially require a presumption in favor of attorney's fees to the party that achieves some success. This Circuit has explicitly rejected that position[.]" [Geiger v. Pfizer, No. 13-3519 (6th Cir. Nov. 5, 2013; unpub.)] |
