¶ 4. The court denied the parties’ requests for attorney’s fees for two reasons. First, the court held that “to base an award of attorneys fees on a contract which the plaintiff violated would be contrary to law.” In short, the court held that Fletcher Hill could not collect fees under a contract that the jury found it had breached. Second, the court ruled that under 9 V.S.A. § 4007(c) neither party had substantially prevailed, so each party had to pay its own attorney’s fees.
