Description
This appeal arises from a marriage and partnership dissolution proceeding before Superior Court Judge Rodger Pegues. The marriage was annulled by a partial summary judgment order. The property claims were resolved after both a lengthy hearing before an appointed special master, and a non-jury trial. Judge Pegues awarded appellee, Eileen Hansen, $72,000 as her pro rata share of the partnership, $20,586 in actual and punitive damages, $1,689.28 in costs and $21,932.11 in actual attorneys fees. The issues on appeal are: (1) Whether the superior court erred in awarding Hansen a share of the assets of Squires Rest Tavern pursuant to the partnership agreement; (2) Whether the superior court erred in determining that Squires Rest earned a profit during 1979; (3) Whether the superior court erred in assessing punitive damages against Horton; and (4) Whether the superior court erred in awarding Hansen her actual attorneys fees. We affirm the trial courts order in all respects except for the punitive damages award. We remand for recalculation of damages.
