Heading: the petition for certiorari

Text: ¶ 16. In her petition for certiorari, Mason avers that she has incurred attorneys' fees and has withdrawn money from her retirement fund in order to repay Southern. She calculates her losses, including attorneys' fees and other losses, as much greater than the $1,500 figure used by the Court of Appeals as the approximate value of the use of Southern's money. She fears that the Court of Appeals has set a precedent that an innocent party must repay erroneously paid funds without deducting the costs of same and that she has been penalized by the necessity of having to appeal the chancellor's judgment. She asks that we remand this matter to the trial court, with instructions to conduct a hearing for a proper determination of her losses. Mason does not press her claim for punitive damages in the petition for certiorari.
