McCrea · In re M.A.L.“malicious and fraudulent conduct meets the statutory threshold for an award of attorney fees as acting 'artibrarily, [sic] vexatiously, or not in good faith.' " Section 35-8-809(4), MCA, supplies a statutory basis under the Montana Limited Liability Act for the fee award. Contrary to Sandrock's assertion that the Act is not ** applicable to this case, several claims in DeTienne's second amended complaint arose under the Montana Limited Liability Act, including the dissociation claim that was again at issue on remand. DeTienne has incurred further attorney fees and costs in defending this appeal, and "awarding such fees on appeal is consistent with the District Court's award.”
