The judge further ordered that the plaintiff file a motion for attorney's fees and costs. The plaintiff complied on October 18, 1994. After a variety of procedural meanderings, the defendants filed an amended notice of appeal, which challenged the amended judgment. Repeal of rent control. We reject the defendants' argument.
Courts possess inherent power in appropriate cases to enter a judgment nunc pro tunc.
Almeida Bus Lines, Inc. v. Department of Pub. In Zuker v. Clerk-Magistrate of the Brookline Div. of the Dist. There, the judge stated that he would award attorney's fees, and he ordered the plaintiff to submit a motion for attorney's fees accompanied by supporting affidavits within thirty days. As stated above, the plaintiff filed her motion on October 18, 1994. A defendant should not be able to escape liability through such an occurrence.
