DURRANT, Justice:

¶ 1 Appellants, a group of landowners, filed an inverse condemnation action against the State of Utah and its agency, the Utah Department of Transportation (collectively "UDOT"). The case settled before trial, but the question of whether appellants were entitled to an award of attorney fees was left open.
