The state Superior Court has denied a woman’s claim for attorney fees, holding that a bank’s decision to voluntarily discontinue a mortgage foreclosure suit did not change the fact that the Superior Court had already affirmed a trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the bank, which precluded an attorney fee award.
In Washington Mutual Bank v. Duraney, a three-judge panel unanimously upheld Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas Senior Judge R. Stanton Wettick’s ruling denying defendant Laurie L. Duraney’s motion for attorney fees.
