2017In Longhi, the court noted that when a plaintiff’s claims for relief “ ‘involve a common core of facts’ ” or are “ ‘based on related legal theories,’ ” much of counsel’s time will be “ ‘devoted generally to the litigation as a whole, making it difficult to divide the hours expended on a claim-by-claim basis.’ ” Id. at 476 (quoting Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 435 (1983)). ¶ 155 We find that reasoning persuasive and applicable to this case.
