Description
Plaintiffs alleged in their amended complaint that defendants repeatedly failed to enforce the provisions of the Nursing Home Patients Bill of Rights, G.S. § 131E-117 (1988 and Cumm. Supp. 1990), and state licensing rules and regulations, N.C. Admin. Code tit. 10 (May 1991), which are intended to insure quality of care and protect the dignity of patients. Defendants, the Department of Human Resources (DHR), the Division of Facility Services (DFS), David T. Flaherty, and I.O. Wilkerson, Jr. (hereafter also referred to as state defendants), are responsible for enforcement of the plaintiffs rights under the previously mentioned statutes. This appeal, however, deals only with the issue of awarding attorneys fees. The relevant facts pertaining to this issue are set out below.
