City of Rockland v. Winchenbaugh
Opinion of the Court
Conrad Winchenbaugh, Sr. appeals from a judgment in the Superior Court (Knox County, Browne, A.R.J.) affirming the decisions in the District Court (Rock-land, Pease, J.) in six land use violation enforcement cases brought by the City of Rockland pursuant to M.R.Civ.P. 80K and 30 M.R.S.A. § 4966.
Pursuant to 30 M.R.S.A. § 4966, the City is entitled to an award of attorney fees that includes its costs of defending the court’s decision on appeal. Town of Holden v. Pineau, 573 A.2d 1310, 1315-16 (Me. 1990); Baker v. Town of Woolwich, 517 A.2d 64, 69 (Me. 1987).
The entry is:
Judgment affirmed.
Remanded to the Superior Court with instructions to remand to the District Court
All concurring.
. The City originally filed seven enforcement actions. The District Court concluded that two of the actions were identical in substance and therefore took no action on one. Winchen-baugh appealed the judgments in the remaining six actions to the Superior Court, which consolidated them for purposes of the appeal.
