First Circuit Upholds Trial Court's Reduction of Fee Award to Pension Fund
Wolters Kluwer Law & Business Link to more items from this source
May 7, 2014

"While the appellate court commented that this reduction of the lodestar was 'unusually large,' it nevertheless found the trial court's two-pronged rationale for the reduction to be within that court's discretion. First, the fund's victory on the merits was a partial one: it was awarded about $27,000 in damages, having sought nearly $200,000. Second, the trial court noted the initial lodestar amount ($84,657) dwarfed the size of the damage award. The trial court was within its discretion to consider proportionality as one factor in determining the fee award[.]" [Central Pension Fund of the Int'l Union of Operating Engineers and Participating Employers v. Ray Haluch Gravel Co., No. 11-1944P2-01A (1st Cir. Mar. 11, 2014)]
