Notes of Decisions

Where plaintiff incurred attorney fees in arbitration, this section does not authorize award of those fees to plaintiff because this section applies only to attorney fees incurred in judicial proceedings. Weitman Excavation, LLC v. CPM Development Corp., 276 Or App 583, 368 P3d 66 (2016)
