O'NEILL v. GOAR

No. 06A01-9304-CV-139.

622 N.E.2d 562 (1993)

Jack R. O'NEILL and Letti O'Neill, Appellant-Plaintiff, v. James V. GOAR d/b/a Goar Associated, Appellee-Defendant.

Court of Appeals of Indiana, First District.

October 27, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William N. Ivers, Stewart & Irwin, Indianapolis, for appellant-plaintiff.

Roger L. Miller, Miller & Martin, Frankfort, for appellee-defendant.


BAKER, Judge.

The unique question we address today is whether a jury can determine if an action is frivolous and attorney's fees are warranted under IND. CODE 34-1-32-1(b) (Supp. 1992). We hold that a court must make such determinations. Appellant-plaintiffs Jack R. O'Neill and Letti O'Neill appeal the jury's award of costs and attorney fees to appellee-defendant James V. Goar d/b/a Goar Associates. We reverse the judgment and remand.
