MumboJumbo recently won a $4.6 million judgment against PopCap, and to add insult to injury, now they're being reimbursed for attorneys' fees as well. A Dallas state district court has awarded MumboJumbo $2.7 million in attorneys' fees that include $525,000 for post-verdict appeals, bringing the total amount to $7.3 million.
"We are happy to see the court award these fees," says attorney Mike Richardson of Rose Walker in Dallas, who represents MumboJumbo. "MumboJumbo shouldn't have to bear the cost of proving that PopCap breached the contract here."
The suit originated from a 2006 agreement where MumboJumbo was contracted to produce and distribute certain PopCap games in North America. MumboJumbo argued that PopCap purposely tried to damage their relationship with a “key retailer” by using “false and misleading statements” when deciding to to sell certain titles itself.
