Highland Park activist Robert Davis and his attorney could face a bill of close to $48,000 after a judge ruled they improperly filed a lawsuit against Detroit Mayor-elect Mike Duggan and other defendants on the eve of the Nov. 5 Detroit mayoral election.Ingham County Circuit Judge James Jamo agreed to impose the costs as sanctions Dec. 12 after ruling that the Davis lawsuit — which alleged Duggan was part of a conspiracy to appoint Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr — did not have a factual or legal basis.
Now, attorneys for the three defendants Jamo dismissed from the case have submitted their bills, which Jamo will consider along with any objections.
