00-1844 Sabel v. Rosenthal, et al.

By: dmc-admin//June 11, 2001//

Listen to this article

Martin E. Rosenthal appeals from a judgment entered in his favor, granting his motion to reopen and vacate a default judgment that Dawn M. and Johnnie D. Sabel secured against Rosenthal on Aug. 25, 1987. Rosenthal challenges only that part of the judgment which ordered the Sabels to pay sanctions to him in the amount of $5,523. Rosenthal claims the trial court erred in numerous respects when it failed to order the Sabels to pay the full amount of costs and fees that Rosenthal incurred in having to litigate the default judgment. Because the trial court erred when it determined the sanctions amount, we reverse and remand with instructions to the trial court to determine what amount would be reasonable to sanction the Sabels for their conduct. This opinion will not be published.
