Description
Opinion by JUDGE SMITH Defendant, Sydney Lincicome, appeals the order of the trial court awarding him only $5,500 in attorney fees instead of the $11,704.50 he actually incurred in defense of plaintiffs' claims. We affirm. Plaintiffs' claims against Lincicome were based on negligence, breach of contract, and third-party beneficiary theories. The case proceeded to trial and after the presentation of plaintiffs' evidence, the court directed a verdict in favor of Lincicome who then requested that he be awarded his attorney fees. The court ordered that this issue would be decided on briefs and, sua sponte, requested that counsel address the issue of mitigation of damages as it might pertain to an award of attorney fees under Colo. Sess. Laws 1977, ch. 189, § 13-17-101, et seq., at 796.
