1. “Although the Williamses present an attractive argument, we ultimately reject it. The results in S & D and Berks were each dependent upon a finding of a breach of contract. Such a determination is a necessary prerequisite to an award of attorney fees, (citation omitted). In contrast, Blough was never judicially determined to be in breach of his contract with the Williamses. Dales-sio dismissed his suit before such a determination could have been made.... In the absence of a finding that Blough breached the contract, an award of damages, such as the attorney fees sought in this case, was not warranted. The trial court, therefore, properly entered summary judgment for Blough.”
