¶ 3. At trial, the jury found that Crosbie breached the contract by failing to pay the final invoice and awarded Fletcher Hill $15,067. The jury also found that Fletcher Hill breached the contract by failing to perform in a workmanlike manner and awarded Crosbie $4000 for “sums spent to remedy any defects or omissions.” At a subsequent hearing to determine attorney’s fees and prejudgment interest, the trial court refused to award either party attorney’s fees, and awarded Fletcher Hill prejudgment interest at the statutory rate of 12% per year from the date the suit was filed. Fletcher Hill appealed. We review the trial court’s ruling on attorney’s fees and prejudgment interest for abuse of discretion. Young v. N. Terminals, Inc., 132 Vt. 125,130,315 A.2d 469,472 (1974).
