Theresa Spencer, Plaintiff/appellant v. Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company, Defendant/appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Oklahoma held that the trial court abused its discretion by reducing the plaintiff’s attorney‑fee request from $8,775.37 to $2,500.00 without applying the Burk factors or showing a rational relationship to the evidence, and it reset the award at $7,104.50 as costs against OG&E. The Court vacated the Court of Civil Appeals opinion, affirmed the trial court in part, reversed in part, and remanded for a hearing on the appropriate fee.
