Description
Appellees/cross-appellants Cooper, Beckman & Tuerk, L.L.P. (CBT) and Levy, Phillips & Konigsberg, R.L.L.P. (LPK) filed a six-count complaint against appellant/cross-appellee Goldman, Skeen & Wadler, P.A. (GSW), as well as Harry Goldman, Jr., pertaining to a series of fee-sharing agreements among the parties. The jury returned a special verdict finding three of four such contracts to remain in effect and concluding that each of the three law firms was liable for breach. The jury awarded CBT and LPK one dollar each and similarly awarded one dollar to GSW. The court entered one judgment on the verdict for the breach of contract claims and a separate judgment declaring the three contracts to remain in effect and awarding a total of $5,691,599.60 to CBT and LPK, a sum "representing [their] contractual share of the total fees." GSW filed a motion to alter or amend the declaratory judgment, a motion for recusal, and a conditional motion for a new trial on the continuing enforceability of the three contracts. CBT and LPK then filed a motion for summary judgment, which also requested judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The court amended the declaratory judgment to indicate additionally that CBT and LPK owed $90,367.69 to GSW, even though no party had requested such an amendment. All other motions were denied. This appeal ensued.
