MGM represented a horse training facility in recovering back rent owed by a trainer who breached her lease agreement. The trainer responded to the suit by filing a counterclaim seeking damages for an allegedly improper lien placed on the horses she trained but did not own. Judgment was granted on liability and a partial damage award entered. The trainer’s counterclaim was then addressed through discovery and a separate order entered dismissing that claim. An additional damage award was entered to quantify the damages accruing since the first award order. The trainer appealed the judgment and the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s decision in favor of the training facility.
