Heading: Neither Party Is Awarded Attorney Fees On Appeal.

Text: Drew requests attorney fees on appeal under I.C. § 12-120 and -121. Drew is not the prevailing party, and thus we do not award him fees under either section. Chandler v. Hayden, 147 Idaho 765, 773, 215 P.3d 485, 493 (2009). Respondents request attorney fees on appeal under I.C. § 12-121 on the basis that Drew brought the appeal frivolously and without foundation. Drew did not bring this appeal without foundation because the district court erred in granting summary judgment on the unjust-enrichment claim before it had specifically found that a contract covering the same subject matter was enforceable. While we ultimately affirm the district court's decision, the appeal was not frivolous or without merit as required to award fees under I.C. § 12-121. I.R.C.P. 54(e)(1). Drew raised a legitimate error of the district court. Therefore, no fees are awarded to Respondents on appeal.
