Short v. Plantation Management Corp.12/27/2000
ees was reasonable and the services have not been evident from the record, we have previously, in the interest of justice, remanded for an evidentiary hearing. See La. C.C. P. art. 2164; Ford Motor Credit Company v. Blanchard, 620 So.2d at 287. Given the situation before us, the issue of attorney fees should similarly be remanded for further review that comports with settled legal foundations to be considered in the establishment of a "reasonable" award limited to legal work associated with the Residents' Bill of Rights claims. Delineation of the legal efforts expended by plaintiffs' counsel in pursuit of the Residents' Bill of Rights claims should be no more difficult than "reasonableness" inquiries to ascertain an attorney fee sum in other equally complex cases. Somewhere, there still exists the venerable doctrine of quantum meruit. The trial court needs to use that doctrine after review.
