Description
The central issue in this case is the effect of a referral agreement on a prior contingency fee agreement for legal services. Specifically, does the subsequent referral agreement extinguish, either by way of novation or accord and satisfaction, the rights and obligations created by the previous contingency fee agreement. Appellants, Mary Anne and Gene Honeycutt (the Honeycutts), attack a judgment entered in favor of appellee, Callan M. Billingsley (Billingsley), after a jury awarded Billingsley damages arising out of the breach of a contingency fee agreement with the Honeycutts. Billingsley, as cross-appellant, also appeals from the portion of the judgment that granted a directed verdict on his claims against cross-appellee, Carroll Motor Company (Carroll Motors). On reconsideration, we deny the Honeycutts' motion for rehearing, grant Billingsley's motion for rehearing, withdraw all previous opinions, and issue this opinion in its stead.
