AC44374 - Budlong & Budlong, LLC v. Zakko ("The defendant, Angham Zakko, appeals from the judgment of the trial court, rendered following a hearing and report by an attorney fact finder, in favor of the plaintiff, Budlong & Budlong, LLC, on the plaintiff's complaint in the amount of $17,602.50. On appeal, the defendant claims that the court improperly (1) overruled her objection to the attorney fact finder's report because the court failed to review the evidence considered by the attorney fact finder, and (2) rendered judgment in accordance with the attorney fact finder's report because the report contained insufficient factual findings. We agree with both of the defendant's claims and, accordingly, reverse the judgment of the court.")
