Pennie v. Roach

Holding

The court held that an appellate court may disregard a void portion of a judgment while allowing the valid remainder to stand, that a trial court's factual finding on the value of attorney's fees is entitled to deference absent a clear abuse of discretion, and that a superior court sitting in equity has jurisdiction to adjudicate an accounting between a deceased administrator's estate and his successor, including the determination of claims for legal services rendered to the estate.
