In that case, Defendant appealed the Law Division’s decision to grant the attorney fee award to Plaintiff. The award was granted after Defendant repeatedly failed to comply with deadlines set in numerous motions enforcing a prior settlement between the Parties.

Under the terms of the settlement, Plaintiffs were responsible for conveying a piece of their property to Defendant.
