Failure to Explain Ruling on Attorney Fees and Settlement Credit Required Remand
In Metal Building Components, LP v. Raley, the Third Court of Appeals has remanded for further proceedings on attorney-fee and settlement-credit issues because the trial court's failure to provide "any analysis or reference to guiding principles" prevented the appellate court from determining whether an abuse of discretion had occurred. Also of interest, the Third Court declined to limit the "one satisfaction rule" to tort cases.
