2015We conclude that petitioner suffered no prejudice from the asserted deficiency of his trial counsel because, even if trial counsel had made the disproportionality challenge that petitioner contends should have been made, and even if that challenge had been evaluated under analysis like that applied in State v.

Beik v. American Plaza Co. green

2015It may be that the indemnification provision, as constrained by ORS 30.140, does not provide for La Noue to recover anything more than they have already been awarded by the jury for Sharabarin’s breach of contract plus any attorney fees potentially recoverable for the reasons set out later in this opinion. 4 For clarity, we refer to that measure throughout this opinion as the “diminution in value,” although we note that it is the same amount that the market value of the building would be expected to increase if the repair were completed. 5 In Beik v.
