Text: ¶ 2. The Court of Appeals provided the following succinct recitation of the background facts: Clint Stokes filed a complaint in the Chancery Court of Monroe County against two brothers, Curley Camp (Curley) and Howard Camp (Howard), and Marty Tate for trespass and wrongful cutting of timber on his land. The Camps filed a counterclaim asking the chancery court to declare an old wire fence to be the proper boundary line. [3] ¶ 3. The chancery court ruled in favor of the Camps, but denied their motion for statutory attorney's fees and expert witness fees, holding that 95-5-10(3) does not apply to successful defendants in a timber trespass case under said statute.
