District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided May 12, 1992.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John C. Lynch, Washington, D.C., for appellant.

Donald J. Caulfield, Mount Rainier, Md., for appellee.

Before ROGERS, Chief Judge, and TERRY and STEADMAN, Associate Judges.


ROGERS, Chief Judge:

Appellant Griffith Consumer Company appeals the denial of its motion for attorneys' fees incurred in defense of a suit for damages caused by the negligent removal of an oil boiler by its agent, appellee Spinks Company. Griffith contends that the trial judge erred because Griffith was forced to defend itself solely as a result of Spinks' negligence and because it was wrongfully involved in the litigation. We affirm.
