TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. You should write an incorrect option. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
PROBLEM: first time a party must specify the statute authorizing attorney's fees is in the Rule 54 motion (unless otherwise provided by statute or court order). In Missouri, attorney's fees are not recoverable from another party, except when a contract or statute allows it. Essex Contracting, Inc. v. Jefferson County, 277 S.W.3d 647, 657 (Mo. banc 2009). The second sentence of the Missouri commissions statute is such an exception to the general Missouri rule. Kraft v. Edwards, 946 S.W.2d 775, 776 (Mo.App.1997). The district judge's ruling that there was no statutory basis for an award of attorney's fees is erroneous as a matter of law. On remand, the district court should consider whether to award attorney's fees. See Chem-Trend, Inc. v. Newport Indus., Inc., 279 F.3d 625, 631 (8th Cir.2002) (<HOLDING>). Because this case as tried addressed only
Holding statements: (A) recognizing discretion of district court in determining a fee award (B) holding that the most critical factor in determining the reasonableness of a fee award is the degree of success obtained (C) recognizing district courts discretion to consider pending state charge in determining sentence (D) recognizing court discretion in determining reasonable fee under rule 11 (E) holding that attorneys fee award in a common fund case must be reasonable under the circumstances

SOLUTION: holding that the most critical factor in determining the reasonableness of a fee award is the degree of success obtained

PROBLEM: traceable to the shock or disturbing effect on the nerves of the patient, and that in turn, the irritation of the nerves caused functional disorders, and, that whether the disability resulted from nervous reaction or from auto-suggestion set in motion by memory of the accident, the result was the same to the injured person. Id. at 209, 13 S.E.2d at 293. The Supreme Court pointed out in Burlington Mills Corp. that the claimant's disability was occasioned by an injury which "may be fairly traced" to a risk which arose out of and in the course of her employment. There was a direct causal relation between the electric flash and the irritated condition of her nervous system. Id. at 210, 13 S.E.2d at 293; see also E.C. Womack, Inc. v. Ellis, 209 Va. 588, 592-93, 166 S.E.2d 265, 268-69 (1969) (<HOLDING>); Imperial Trash Service v. Dotson, 18 Va.App.
Holding statements: (A) holding that psychological conditions resulting from workrelated trauma are compensable (B) holding injuries suffered on trip for business and pleasure were compensable (C) holding that rico claims were personal and plaintiffs were therefore entitled to sue on their own because their injuries were distinct from the injuries to creditors in general resulting from the diversion of corporate assets (D) holding that psychiatric symptoms resulting in disability from work flowed from injuries received in primary accident and were compensable (E) holding that special damages must be shown to be reasonable and necessarily resulting from accident

SOLUTION: holding that psychological conditions resulting from workrelated trauma are compensable

PROBLEM: Judgment on Declaratory Judgment Claim In its final issue, Crimson complains that the trial court erred in entering a take-nothing summary judgment against it on Crimson's "duty to defend" declaratory judgment claim rather than entering a declaratory summary judgment in Crimson's favor. Crimson specifically asserts that its claim for a declaratory judgment on its "duty to defend" liability under the indemnity agreement presented an issue beyond that raised in appellees' claims for which it would have "ongoing exposure under the indemnity portions of the Advisory Agreement" and thus a declaratory judgment on its duty to defend under the agreement would have been proper. See Indian Beach Prop. Owners' Ass'n v. Linden, 222 S.W.3d 682, 702 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2007, no pet.) (<HOLDING>). Declaratory judgments are reviewed under the
Holding statements: (A) recognizing that the right to seek reformation of a deed is limited to the original parties to the deed and their successors in title (B) holding that because the purchase price typically is not included in the deed this term of the contract of sale is not merged with the deed (C) holding that a beneficiary under a deed of trust was entitled to reformation of the grantors deed (D) holding merger by deed prohibits reformation when one of the parties learns of a mistake before closing and still signs the deed (E) holding that declaratory judgment counterclaim seeking interpretation of deed restrictions filed in lawsuit regarding breach of deed restrictions was not simply denial of plaintiffs cause of action but affirmative claim for relief and therefore proper subject of declaratory judgment deed restrictions involved ongoing and continuous relationship between parties and declaration would define parties obligations under deed restrictions in future

SOLUTION:
recognizing that the right to seek reformation of a deed is limited to the original parties to the deed and their successors in title
