Outcome
The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the district court's award of attorney fees to the respondents as prevailing parties under the contract's prevailing party provision, but reversed the award of attorney fees as special damages in a two-party breach of contract action, holding that such fees do not constitute special damages under Nevada law.
