In the earlier appeal, the Court of Appeals had upheld an attorney-fee award arising from Georgia Department of Corrections’ rejection of David Couch’s settlement offer. The Supreme Court of Georgia later affirmed the ruling on sovereign immunity under a different rationale and reversed the fee calculation, requiring the trial court to assess the reasonable value of services actually provided during the statutory period rather than rely only on the contingency percentage. On remand, the Court of Appeals vacated the divisions affected by the Supreme Court’s ruling, vacated any inconsistent attorney-fee ruling, and sent the matter back for remaining trial-court proceedings in light of the Supreme Court’s decision.
