A state appeals court on Wednesday ordered further review of more than $166,000 in receivership fees awarded to New Jersey firm Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis, issuing an “admonition [that] has been repeated time and again” to trial courts that don’t put reasons for their rulings on the record.
The two-judge Appellate Division panel said a remand was necessary to determine whether the award, based on a $300 hourly rate, was reasonable, because two lower court judges did not fully explain their reasoning.
