Opal C. Findlay, Petitioner v. Tom Cave, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that Opal Findlay's demand for payment under the employment contract was not an excessive demand as a matter of law, and therefore attorney's fees awarded to Cave's counsel were permissible. The Court reasoned that the demand was based on the written contract and did not rise to the level of bad faith or unreasonableness required to bar fees.
