Description

Everett Newton appeals the trial court's judgment, rendered after a jury verdict, awarding Dallas Meade contract-based damages for $525 and $17,500 in attorney's fees. The jury also awarded $152 as compensation for Meade's malpractice claim, but Meade elected the contract damages as his remedy. Newton asserts that Meade's cause of action for breach of contract is not legally cognizable, arguing that Meade's claim sounds in tort only. He argues the award of damages and attorney's fees based on breach of contract must be reversed. We agree. We reverse the judgment of the trial court and render judgment awarding damages on the malpractice claim.
