General Casualty Co. of Illinois v. Four Seasons Greetings12/28/2004
award, record contained detailed time reports and explanatory affidavit which supported amount of award), review denied (Minn. June 15, 1994).
IV. Fees and Expenses of Referee
GCC argues that the district court abused its discretion in requiring GCC to pay all of the referee's fees and expenses because GCC successfully challenged a portion of the attorney fees for the underlying action. But GCC cites no legal authority for this proposition. Rule 53.01 allows for the appointment of a referee by the court and provides that "the compensation to be allowed to a referee shall be fixed by the court, and shall be charged upon such of the parties . . . as the court may direct." Minn. R. Civ. P. 53.01. The district court notes that GCC's objection regarding this issue "has been addressed numerous times by the Court and the Special Master." The record does not clearly indicate that the district court abused its discretion in requiring GCC to pay for the referee. Accordingly, we will not disturb the court's award of fees and expenses.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
