My Boo-Boo

In the city council meeting last week I contended that the award of attorneys’ fees the City of Revere had to pay the plaintiff pornographer for violation of its first amendment rights had been set at $900,000 +; I was wrong, apparently. The issue is still before the trial court after remand by the appellate court. The appellate court reduced the award in certain respects merely because the plaintiff’s attorneys had failed to ask for their fees for certain segments of the litigation at the appropriate times before the appropriate courts. In other respects the appellant court did question, among other things, the necessity for the work that was done by plaintiff’s attorneys.

I stand corrected.
