Description de l’éditeur
This is an appeal from the trial court's denial of an award of attorney's fees to the plaintiffs-appellants. In 1981, Frank and Lorain Kadish, Marion L. Pickens and the Arizona Education Association ("appellants"), represented by the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest ("the Center"), filed a taxpayer action challenging the validity of the fixed royalty provisions of Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. ("A.R.S.") section 27-234(B). The trial court dismissed the complaint, ruling that the statute did not violate the Arizona Enabling Act or the Arizona Constitution. Appellants subsequently prevailed in the Arizona Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court.
