Montana Supreme Court

Mcnain Holdings v. Wilderness Preserve

August 18, 20262026 MT 193

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Wilderness Preserve’s post-trial motions, concluding that substantial credible evidence supported the jury’s contract-damages award and that the verdict complied with the jury instructions. It also affirmed the award of the McNains’ and Blakes’ full attorney fees and costs because they were the prevailing parties and their contract and consumer-protection claims were based on an inextricably intertwined factual theory. The court remanded for the district court to determine the reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred on appeal.
