Court of Appeals of Indiana
Meleeka Clary-Ghosh, et al. v. Michael Ghosh (mem. dec.)
22A-PL-1411
Civil plenary. Affirms in part a trial court’s judgment in favor of Michael Ghosh. Reverses the trial court’s order that Meleeka Clary-Ghosh and another party pay Ghosh $31,000 in attorney fees. Finds the Hamilton Superior Court properly denied a joint motion to dismiss, and there was sufficient evidence to support the trial court’s denial. Also finds no error in the substance or the form of the trial court’s award of punitive damages; no error in a denial of a motion for change of venue; and no error in the trial court’s denial of a motion for summary judgment. Finally, the UFTA does not authorize the award of attorney fees.
