Date Filed Document Text
September 2, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 571 OPINION AND ORDER: For the reasons given above, I find that the decision of the Oregon Court of Appeals in Underwriters informs construction of ORS 742.061(1), rather than the Ninth Circuit's decision in Webb. In light of Underwriters 9;s holding that ORS 742.061(1) does not authorize attorney fees in an equitable contribution action between liability insurers, I must DENY plaintiffs' Motion for Attorney Fees 532 . I do, however, award plaintiffs' Bill of Costs 531 in the amount of $98,763.39. Signed on 8/31/2010 by Judge Michael W. Mosman. (dls)
