  1. Paidar v. Hughes

    615 N.W.2d 276 (Minn. 2000)   Cited 115 times
    Holding that attorneys' fees are allowed in slander of title actions because "one party's tortious conduct necessitated litigation by the other party"

    The Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed. See Paidar v. Hughes, No. C6-98-2192, 1999 WL 300910 (Minn.App. May 11, 1999). We hold, consistent with the Restatement (Second) of Torts ยง 633 (1977), and the rule adopted in a majority of jurisdictions, that reasonable attorney fees that are a direct consequence of an action to quiet title that results from slander of title constitute special damages.
