While the court did not articulate how it determined the $2500 award for attorney’s fees, by any calculation, it made a drastic reduction from any conceivable lodestar amount. In light of the fact that the defendants presented no evidence that the attorney’s fees detailed in the accounting provided by the plaintiffs’ counsel were unreasonable and that the public policy underlying the award of attorney’s fees in CUTPA cases is to encourage the pursuit of actions arising from unfair trade practices, we conclude that the court’s nearly 95 percent reduction in the award of attorney’s fees was an abuse of its discretion. V PREJUDGMENT INTEREST PURSUANT TO § 37-3a
