Claim Types
Outcome
The majority court vacated the trial court's award of attorney fees, finding the underlying contract void due to the plaintiff's attorneys' failure to register as a professional corporation. The dissent argued the fee award should stand under the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, as the failure to register did not prejudice the defendant.
